NEW TO LOW CARB.. TIPS TO GET STARTED?

youheartky · 04-10-2011, 08:10 PM

I am just starting tonight. I have no clue where to start.. I find being a vegetarian that carbs have become a huge part of my diet and I believe its making me gain a lot of weight. Any tips to get started would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi yhk, we'll start together! Low carb is new to you, vegetarian is new to me. =)

What type of vegetarian are you? I'm willing to use dairy and eggs, so low carb induction is easier even vegetarian.

Also, yhk, did you see this post? Favorite vegetarian low carb/high protein meals And I'm reading through the rest of the thread. Good luck!

Hi guys, I wrote kind of a mind-dump here:

How To LOWCARB As a Vegetarian (Some Basics for LC Veg in General and Atkins)

how you approach all this will be different for a seasoned lowcarber who is going vegetarian than for a seasoned vegetarian trying to go lowcarb .. both can be challenging, but both are doable! if I can answer any questions after you see what's in there, let me know! I've eaten vegetarian for over 30 years .. and lowcarbing now for about 8 years .. lost 108 lbs after being obese most of my life ...

it is doable this way!
