many thanks for the fast and helpful responses so far. I really does amaze me that no one has a conclusive answer for vegetarians. I had a good look around the Atkins website and I cant find anything at all on being vegetarian so once again I am still none the wiser.

I have just realised I am not drinking enough so I will make sure I am drink much more.

Quorn is a mycoprotein, in other words its fungus based protein source. It comes in all different flavours, most commonly used by vegetarians as meat style pieces, chicken pieces as well as deli ham style slices. Its got hardly any carbs at all and its a great source of protein that is regularly included in my diet.

Today for instance, I have eaten a 4egg omlette with spinach, cheese and quorn. Lunch was a salad with three slices of cheese, water cress, rocket, onion, a little coleslaw, cucumber, a small handful of mixed seeds and a couple of sun dried tomatoes.

For main meal I am eating fried cheese, an extensive salad, with much of the above plus a little pepper and more vegetables.

I will try to keep this up for a little longer, but I am looking a little pale and I must admit my morale is getting lower by the day. I dont seem to feel very hungry which is good, just a little weird at the moment, like I am slightly under the weather.

Can anyone please point me at any online links to help me 'solve this mystery'? I have no idea why, in this modern age, its so difficult to find online information about how to lose weight as a vegetarian Atkins.
