VEGETARIAN LOW CARB DIET: The fast, no-hunger weightloss diet for vegetarians (Tom Thorne Novels)

Good advice section but i would like more recipes.

Für Leute die wirklich auf vegetarische Low Carb rezepte stehen ein MUSS! Schön sind auch die Essenspläne die vorgegeben sind. Sehr abwechlungsreich.

The book is good but I didn't find it helpful. Not really suitable for vegans and the recipes are full of tofu which I don't really like. The list of carb values lacks many fruits , cereals and breads.

I lost 50 lbs on the Adkins Diet when I used to eat meat. I had it down to a science losing .5 lb/day without even trying (seemingly) because I had the diet down to such a science, had memorized the number of carbs in virtually everything I ate. In fact I got so good at it I got to the point my only struggle was getting UP TO the 20 grams of carbs I was subposed to have. Once I got down to 115 lbs I had to go off it or I would have ended up weightless. It was a great diet and the first serious diet I had ever been on since I never had a weight problem until I had my second child in my late 30's. The problem is I didn't follow the maintenance plan. Big mistake!Well, now my son is 10 and I have not only gained ALL the weight back plus 15 lbs my diet has changed to somewhat of a vegetarian (I do eat fish and cage free eggs) but the Atkins Diet doesn't offer a good vegetarian diet so I was at a loss as to how to lose this extra weight. It was very frustrating. I knew I was eating too many carbs but I needed a guide to help me along.When I saw this book it was just a dream come true. Finially, a vegetarian low carb high protein diet book, it was just what I was looking for! I've been on the diet now for almost two weeks and have lost 6 lbs and already feel better because I don't feel as bloated and I feel self assured because I can use this book as a guide.Just some ideas: I was using Splenda but now I've ordered a natural sweetener on Amazon because this author reccommends natural sweeteners opposed to artificial. I drink my EGG or WHEY protein shake every morning and that starts the day off right by filling me up. I mix it with the Almond Soy Milk I ordered on Amazon. It's very good. I take a vitamin every day like the author suggests. I love this author's comments about certain foods, ideas, suggestions and recipes. I always keep hard boiled eggs in the frige to snack on. I like to sprinkle Old Bay seasoning on them (I'm a Maryland resident). Via Dr. OZ, I purchased the "Miracle Noodle" on Amazon and broiled it with fresh spinach and season with salt/pepper. It's very filling and satisfies the taste buds. Fresh almonds are a great snack and I have either a breakfast dinner or fish for dinner. Sometimes just a big salad with balsamic vinager for the dressing. Another great meal is to slice a green or yellow pepper in half, fill with cream cheese or goat cheese and toast it in the toaster oven. OMG it's fantastic! You can sprinkle a herb seasoning on it too. The romaine lettuce is great to use as a "wrap" to fill with tuna fish or egg salad.I reccommend this book to anyone who wants to lose weight the healthy way. My only advice is once you lose your unwanted weight, stick to a maintenance plan!!! If I did, I wouldn't be dieting right now...ugh. Or I should say "A lifetime change of eating"...shouldn't look at it as a diet. Good luck!

This book is ideal for vegetarians who want to lose weight. It's interesting to read but, more importantly, this diet works.
