Lentils and beans rather than rice would be better. Tofu isn't particularly healthy, so I would not suggest building a diet around it. If she eats Paneer that would probably be the best of protein. Plain yogurt is very good too. And then lots of vegetables to go with it all.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-59856582215269700752007-09-07T13:03:00.000-04:002007-09-07T13:03:00.000-04:00Jenny,Any research on how low carb diets work for ...Jenny,<BR/>Any research on how low carb diets work for vegetarians ( real vegetarians )? My wife has tried low carb diets ( South Beach and Weight Watchers ) but ended up quitting since she could not find enough sources of high-density protein to make up for the loss in calories. She would go to bed with a grumbly tummy and really dislikes the texture of tofu.

Cottage cheese works great (a handheld blender can smooth out the curds if those are objectionable) . I tend not to use protein powders except in small quantities and not very frequently at that. But I choose whey or egg protein over soy.

Thank you.<BR/><BR/>It's hard right now, since I'm just starting, to know what books and sources are good. I have a book here that I got from the library, by Karen Barnaby. She uses soy protein isolate ... I just can't. Not only for the reasons Jenny says, but I don't want to eat the highly-refined dregs of an oversubsidized farm industry.

The carb cravings reduce and even go away when high carb foods are not a regular part of meals and snacks.<BR/><BR/>And low carb vegetables taste much better when the sweet-sensitive taste buds aren't bombarded with sugar all the time. That was a big surprise for me. I found myself enjoying more Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033443643442246531noreply@blogger.com
