Anyone else doing Atkins as a vegetarian?

[elle_moon]

Hi all, was wondering if there are any fellow veggies out there doing Atkins? Trickier I know, without the meat but luckily I love eggs, cheese and eat tofu and quorn,

I did for a while & I'll come back to it soon. I'd totally recommend the Rose Elliot's low carb veg diet books. Great recipes!

Hi I don't eat meat but do eat fish so not a vegetarian, I do have days when I only eat vegetarian food though, I do find it needs more thought and planning on veggie days but can certainly be done , good luck

Yep I've got Rose Elliot's cookbook as well, think I saw if mentioned on on if these threads. I've actually started cooking properly for the first time ever - before I started this I'd generally microwave ready meals *hangs head in shame* - but discovering now it's actually quite fun to cook from scratch

It was probably me, I'm always banging on about that book Makes doing veggie low carb so doable.

I just started doing Atkins again today, but this time I'm doing it as a pescatarian, having given up meat last year I don't want my diet to consist of just fish though so I stocked up on a lot of tofu, eggs and vegetables. I was so completely unprepared this morning though...all I had suitable in the house was prawns! It's very doable, just requires a tad more preparation Good luck!

Thanks, good luck with your as well. At least eating fish gives you some different options

Not vegetarian but I love Quorn.

I wish they hadn't doubled the carbs in Quorn sausages (2.5g > 4.9g)

Try Tesco Lincolnshire frozen sausages. Relatively low carbs for veggie sausages.

Anyone know the lowest carb veggie mince?
