Re: Aaaaaaaa! im a vegan!

Re: Aaaaaaaa! im a vegan!

we have a topic in the FAQ for vegetarians from the Atkins medical center info before Dr Atkins died he had many vegetarian patients. you do induction just like anybody else except you use soy protein mostly if you use bocca burgers you can eat them, TVP is what most nonmeat eaters use. If you don't do dairy either then you can use soy or rice cheese but check the package for the carb counts and use the lowest you can find. tofu is induction legal for vegetarians too. rememeber your protein is only 30 percent of your food intake. Atkins is high healthy fats plan with 65% of your induction calories coming from fats.

Missy90 is one of our very long term vegetarian low carbers if you PM her she can help you.
