Low carb vegetarian diet can be a great way to get those excess pounds. Knowing what to eat will help you become successful. The first thing you should consider is to know the ingredients. There are lots of alternatives for meat. One of the best is tofu which is the base of all vegetarian diets as well as low carb diets. Tofu is very high in protein, low in fat and has a very few carbs. The only bad thing about tofu is it can be tasteless. However, you could always spice it up with a little pepper or other spicy flavors. Eggs are also good source of protein. You could flavor it up and make it interesting with cheese. Nuts such as cashews, walnuts, peanuts and even coconuts are also high in protein and add flavor to your vegetarian dish.
