I am an Ovo-Vegetarian. That means I choose to NOT eat meat or dairy products, but will eat egg whites. My body does NOT deal well with carbs so I was excited when I found a Vegetarian/Vegan adaptation of the Atkins diet. I hope to find support here.

    That's very interesting. I'm not a vegetarian, but I love looking at what else I could use for protein besides meat. Thanks for the link :)

    Glad you found something that will work for you! I experimented with vegan last year and have been on and off vegetarian.. It really doesn't work long term for me. I think it would help if I had any kind of moral objection to eating meat/animal products. And it would have helped if I would have seen this website you posted!

    I'm sure as long as you are accepting of other people's choice to eat meat and dairy products, then I don't see why you wouldn't find support here.

    Welcome to the group and happy low carbing!

    I'm not a vegetarian, but I just want to say welcome and also I wanted to let you know about another great resource for low carb vegetarians.
