Hi Vinita!

I'm another ex-vegitarian (sorry)

However when I saw your post I started to think of the things I ate when I was a vegitarian and what could be adapted to a LC diet. I used to eat TVP sometimes. You can get it in a neutral flavour and soak it in hot water with a mushroom or vegetable stock cube to give it extra taste. I then used to use it mixed with onion and sometimes mushrooms for stuffing peppers, filling savoury pancakes and many other things. It has the same carbs in it as most soy products.

I agree with moony. I think you'll have to eat cheese and other dairy products too, in order to get enough protein.

Personally I ate eggs, but only factory eggs as I knew they weren't fertile and I wasn't killing a potential life!

Although I now believe that vegitarianism is not for me, I wish you well and hope you find a way to stick to this diet so that you may reach the weight you desire.

Best wishes from Belarus.

Robert
