New, Hello

[dkostel]

Hi,
I've been lurking for a while & I thought I'd finally post here. This is my 3rd attempt at atkins. It's been very hard for me because I'm a vegetarian, but it is clear to me that carbs are my problem. I was even told by someone at atkins (in response to an email) that it couldn't be done eating vegetarian. I've lost 5.5 lbs this week & have 25 more to go. Last time I tried it was all eggs and cheese and salad. I've discovered a wonderful line of low carb hamburger buns called O SO LO. I didn't see them posted anywhere else here so I thought I'd mention. They are decent tasting & 3.3 grams of carbs. Combined with low carb veggie burgers I now have a wonderful meal option.
I'd appreciate it if anyone has any other low carb veg suggestions.

Thanks in advance-
Donna

Welcome to the DIS and to WISH, Donna.

Green beans, celery, broccoli and cauliflower seem to be good.

Have you seen the recipe on the recipe thread for Mock Danish? That might be something a bit different for you.

Here's a site I like for low carb recipes. They have lots of ideas for vegies.


Low carb luxuries

Good luck!

Welcome to the WISH Board, Donna!! You have come to the right place as many people do Atkins here! I think it is wonderful that you are doing the Vegetarian version despite what was said to you about it!! What a wonderful attitude!! Keep up the great work!
