Robert,
It is possible to be lacto-ovo vegetarian and do Sugar Busters. I'll give you the Don'ts: No corn, potatoes, parsnips, turnips, beets, ripe bananas, pineapple, overripe kiwis, raisins, watermelon, some controversy over dates, breads that have sugar added including corn syrup, molasses etc, and breads that are not stone-ground whole grain. White pastas and white rice are also not allowed. However brown rice or whole-wheat pasta are.
Allowed are whole-wheat pastas, tofu, beans, whole-grain breads that have no-sugar added, other fruits that are not on the list, but must be eaten half an hour before a meal or two hours after. Just about all the vegetables are allowed. Tofu is unlimited so a vegetarian could eat as much as they can stand. The one proviso for losing weight is no more than two or three carb sources other than fruits or veggies a day.
There is a Vegetarian forum on this web-site that has a lot of ideas to help, since there are even Atkins dieters who are Vegetarians.
