I'm not a vegetarian, but was for 6 years. The pasta deal got me too. Just needed that protein!
You're a vegan, so eggs and dairy are out for protein, I suppose. If I were you, I'd try to find a great soy protein powder to make shakes with. WestSoy has great unsweetened and Splenda sweetened soy milks that are low carb also. Tofu is obviously a good choice and many veggie products (such as Boca burgers) are quite low carb. Look for ones that are mainly textured proteins as opposed to wheat.
I wouldn't recommend Atkins induction for you, but the second phase of Atkins (OWL) or Protein Power would work well. Then you could still eat lots of veggies.
Hope that helps a bit. There are very successful veggies on here, so I'm sure it can be done!
