Hi Jim,

Do you eat eggs? Tofu is good as well, great in a stir fry with

veggies. I have done a little reading on vegetarian low carbing (there

are some sites out there). I would suggest advoid higher carb veggies

like carrots, potatoes, corn, peas, turnip, ect. Try some protein

shakes.

Just my non-professional thoughts

If you were a vegetarian and you wanted to follow the low-carb approach as

much as possible,

what foods would you include in your eating plan?

Jim... not sure about tofu, but I don't think it's too high in carbs --

anyone know?? -- but I'd include lots of the low carb veggies, like spinach,

broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, green beans, asparagus, etc. :-) A fruit

I'd include would be avocados, and I'd include nuts.

Hi, Jim...my daughter is a vegetarian, has been for years, and lives in a

vegetarian community. Whenever I visit her I have to be Very Careful because

most veggie diets are pretty high in grains and carbs. Luckily, I do insulin

so I deal with it by watching portion size and adding more insulin than

usual. This works for me. If you're not able to get your BGs down to where

they should be (to avoid future complications get an A1C 6 or below) on a

vegetarian diet because of the need for high carb in grains you might

consider insulin.

This is my standard list of veggies that have very few carbs:

spinach

cauliflower

broccoli

summer squash (zucchini, crookneck)

spaghetti squash

mushrooms

asparagus

greenbeans

cabbage

sauerkraut

bok choy...

and of course lettuce and avocados, which aren't a veggie but a fruit...but

are pretty lowcarb. I only eat about a third of an avocado at a time...

I believe there's an online lowcarb vegetarian website. I'll see if I can

find it...yes, here it is. You'll find it very useful. Here's the URL...

Vicki,

Thanks! I knew I had that url somewhere, and I was just too lazy to look

for it :-))
