Hi all! I am thinking of going somewhat veggie because I am having a tough time with Atkins and my religious observance. Because of kashrut (dietary laws) I do not mix meat and dairy, and that mixing goes as far as needing to have about 6 hours between a meat meal and a dairy meal (or snack). So, I am pulling my hair out most days and ending up stuffing a piece of matzah or some other carby thing in my mouth because I am hungry.

So, I think it might be helpful if I go a partial vegetarian diet. I plan on still eating fish and eggsa, as though are considered 'neutral', that is, neither dairy nor meat.

Anyway, my real question is, how well does Atkins work if you cut out meat? Is the loss slower, no change, etc.?
