Hi Dan, Over the last few months, my fasting sugars have leveled off to a range between 80-95. During the same time, I reduced my Metformin from 1500mg to 500mg. My A1C during eary May lab work was 5.8 (down from 7.8 in Aug 2014). Overall, this is the first time in last decade I have seen this good a FBG number. I realize…

Hi everyone, I am perhaps one of the very few vegetarians (if any) attempting low(er) carb here. I am 47yrs, 132lbs and 5'7". I have been on LC starting Jan this year and came across this woe while searching for a way to manage my T2 diabetes. While my weight wan't a problem, it took me 10-12 years in relating carbs to…

I used to struggle with my protein intake too. Now I hit or exceed my numbers using Tofu, Greek Yogurt and lots of cheese

Taking a nap after lunch was regular routine for me over the weekend before LC. Now I don't feel the need to, but love to steal one when I get a chance :smile:

I started LC in January and average 65-80g/day. Most of my carbs are from vegetables and dairy. During this time, I went from being diabetic to almost prediabetic (A1c from 7.8 to 5.8) and reduced my Metformin from 1500mg to 500mg. I also lost 17# (It was not my main aim for doing LC. I am at ~21 BMI now). This WoE has…

My recent lab results are similar to what others have posted. HDL went up by 10 points, LDL down marginally, but the ratio improved (ldl/hdl) to 1.6. I also got my A1C down to 5.8 (from 7.9 in Aug '14)

Yes, I am a lacto-vegetarian (dairy is ok, eggs not). It was an "interesting" period to adjust my diet to bring carbs under 100gm. At the moment I track under 70 total and under 50 net on most days.

I am a life long vegetarian. Feel free to friend me.

Thanks for this thread. I can relate to the challenges one faces when trying to go low carb with Indian cuisine. I am a vegetarian and that only makes it doubly different. Before this WoE, my regular fare would be roti, rice, sabji, chick pea based fried stuff, lentils, Paneer and dairy. My cooking now has almost…

Vegetarian here. Trying to eat low carb nowadays. Feel free to add me.

Lacto vegetarian here. Trying out low carb WOE

I am on lchf for last 4 weeks. Need help with vegetarian lchf options. Looking for lchf friends.

Peanut butter has lot Calories for the carb per serving, but the only way I know to eat it is with toast, and that is carb loaded. Any interesting low carb Vegetarian recipes with peanut butter?

Thanks everyone for suggestions. I will start with adding Beans, Avocado, Cheese and Chia seeds to my diet. Will also try out new recipes. I never thought I will be facing a challenge in eating more :smile:
