Low Carb Vegetarian Diet
For years low-carb and vegetarian diets have been on opposite ends of the eating spectrum. Carbohydrate-counter.org writes about low carb vegetarian diet, “The easiest way to take your low carb diet on a vegetarian trip is by using meat substitutes. Meat substitutes taste, feel, and even smell like the real deal. When you simply substitute these faux meats in any of your meat-based recipes, you’ll have to check the package twice to make sure it really says “Vegetarian” on the label. From tofu to tempeh, seitan to TVP, there are just about as many meat substitutes as actual meats on the market today. You can have vegetarian ribs, shrimp, steak, chicken, turkey, salmon, and just about any other meat you can think of… But, if you really want a break from meat, the real thing or even fakes, vegetarian dishes can serve you up right. If you want to take a break every now and then from meat, faux or otherwise, stir fries, grilled veggies, and low carb pastas top the vegetarian list. Stir fry your favorite low starch, cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, daikon, radishes, chard, turnips, and watercress. For protein, add in seasoned tofu. Grill up asparagus, peppers, zucchini, summer squash, or any of the veggies above. Marinade your healthy delights in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. For an extra zip, add cayenne pepper. Go Italian with a low carb pasta topped with your choice of garlic, herbs, and tomatoes. Add a light sprinkle of Romano or Parmesan cheese for the perfect touch”.

I have been following the Suesanne Somers Somersize diet. This diet is a low-carb diet that allows you to eat complex carbohydrates(whole grain breads, pastas, rice, beans and even fruit). You have to eat the carb. meal seperate from fat/proteins, and eat fruit only on an empty stomach then after 20 mins. you can eat a carb. meal. The book I have is “Get Skinny on Fabulous Foods”, there is also a Somersize website. I too have tried the Atkins diet and got tired of eating practically nothing but meat. I have been Somersizing for three months and have lost 33lbs. You might want to check this out. It is a protein diet but you have the option of eating carbs.
