Default Thanks every one

I think I will stay with this vegetarian LCWOL, I have figured how to get the protein up and keep the carbs down I eat a lot of cheese, eggs, tofu and nuts, including soy nuts... I eat fruit as well as green vegetables. I am not eating much beans lately, but want to add them again later. I really like this! I have to admit, it has taken a lot of tweeking to get the protein up there and I only have gotten it up to around 60 grams. I would like it to be around at least 70, but 60 will do for now. I will keep working on it. Adding Soy Protein Isolate, would probably get it up there for me...

Thank you again for all your help...

Hi

The Insulin Resistance Diet would suit you very well because the plan counts dairy produce, beans etc. to be protein sources.

[ http://www.soulcysters.net/showthre...et&pagenumber=2]

Here's a synopsis of the plan:

--For every 15gm carbs you eat you must eat at least 7gm protein with it.
--Don't eat more than 30gm carbs in one sitting
--Once you've eaten carbs, don't eat any more for at least 2hrs. If you do, those extra carbs go right to fat!

Extra tips:
--Drink 8-8oz glasses of water a day, PLUS another 8oz glass for every 25lbs you are overweight. Water is very important to metabolism.
--Get plenty of fiber. It's also very important to metabolism.
--You can snack, just remember to combine carbs with protein and follow the two hour rule.
--Apples and Oranges don't effect glycemic response, which means they don't dump a bunch of insulin in your system despite the sugar they have. You can eat them without protein if you like.
--I find ways to "cheat" but stay on diet, so I don't feel at all deprived. For instance, I eat Snickers for breakfast practically every day. Common sense tells us we can't be on a diet if we are eating candy, but I drink a pint (16oz) of milk (skim, if anyone is interested) with it so I'm actually following the diet. I also eat a lot of fast food. A McDonald's cheeseburger has 35gm carbs and plenty of protein. I get a Double cheeseburger, no fries, no pop. Just the burger and water. I thought I'd feel deprived because I love fries and pop so much, but I don't. I do cheat and have fries the week of my period to kind of celebrate, but I find that I don't really even want to pop anymore. And it was something I drank almost every day!

Default Sprouted Beans

Hi there

Since you mentioned you were eating beans, you may want to consider sprouting the beans instead of cooking them. Sprouted beans have a lower glycemic index than cooked beans, which means less impact on your blood sugar.

1 cup sprouted lentils has 17 g carbs but I'm sure a lot of it is fiber.

A really good book that Dana Carpenter reccomends is "Baking Low Carb" By Diana Lee. There are tons of high protein baked goods in it so it is a lifesaver for veggies.

Default Newbie Veggie

I have recently started a whole new track on a KISS Veggie low carb diet. I eat :

Eggs
Cheese
All fats
All Nonstartch lc veggies
(infrequently small amounts of chicken/fish)

I'm very happy eating this way.
Digestion good.
Hair good.
Weight good.
Skin good.
Everything good.

I might eat a piece or two of chicken if it's on
a salad at a restaurant for example, but I do
eat alot of eggs and cheese. I never count carbs -
and my appetite seems to limit the carbs
automatically for me...I get full fast.

NO processed foods (cheese is not really processed)
By processed I mean machine/mechanically produced,
in a cardboard box or contains additives and preservatives.
I think you know what I mean without getting nitpicky.

It's possible. Vegan low carb is primarily wonderful veggies, salads, lots of favorite fats (healthy of course, not trans or hydrog) and good protein sources...eggs, cheese (very rarely some fish/chicken) but mostly vegan meals.

It can be done. Dairy products do not stall me, cheese does not constipate or stall me/I'm convinced all the veggies I eat prevent that. Lots of water - and success.

WOW!!! I haven't been over here for a long time! I thought I would drop in and see... WOW!!! thanks for all the extra info... I went off the vegetarian diet for a little while, but I am pretty much back on it. I never seem to stay on a meat diet very long. I much more enjoy this LC vegetarian diet more!

Could you give me some examples of non-starch, low-carb vegetables? I am trying to get started on this vegetarian, low-carb way of eating.

Also, do you have any trouble getting enoughprotein eating this way?
