I had good luck with the Carbohydrate addicts diet or CAD. I lost 50 lbs but as the time has gone by I have stayed at a higher weight than I like. Their web-site is http://www.carbohydrateaddicts.com I have eaten this way for 12 years and it is easy to follow once you know the "rules"
The diet also travels well and I can get the right foods anywhere on vacation.
If you don't have anemia, you don't have an iron problem. Vegetarians should have no problem getting sufficient iron, as it's present and best absorbed from a variety of plants. Examples are nettles, raw spinach, raw dandelion greens, beets, parsley, watercress -- you get the picture here, green leafy vegetables and others as well. Now, just being a vegetarian doesn't mean you're eating well.
I have been formally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and possible Carbohydrate Intolerance. My issue is when I eat a load of carbs, it hits up to 3 days later and I can't hardly get out of bed and am weak most of the day. Everything I read about Carb Intolerance says that fatigue usually hits within the first few hours. Has anyone else experienced this? Carb crash, a day or days after the carbs are eaten?
But know that not everyone is equipped to do well as a vegetarian -- most vegetarians do it for ideological reasons and it is harder to get all your nutrients as a vegetarian, particularly methionine and B12, so you do have to learn how to do it well. Food groups don't differ for vegetarians and meat eaters, just the source of protein does.
Low-Carb Flat Breads
Low-carb flat breads, including mission tortillas, contain about 30 grams of protein each, making them a great source of protein for vegetarians to choose as part of their diet.
2. Chick Peas
Chick peas are a food that is full of protein. These beans have 16 grams of protein per 200 gram serving. This is by far one of the best sources of protein for vegetarians.
3. Kidney Beans
Coming in third, kidney beans provide 15 grams of protein per 200 gram serving.
Most vegetarians rely on beans and nuts for their protein, as should you. The rice should be brown rice for maximum protein and nutrition; beans combined with any whole grain will give you a complete protein. Iron is not a problem for vegetarians -- there are many vegetable sources for it, including beets, parsley, dandelion greens, most green leafy veggies except lettuce, nettles, etc.
As diabetes is a disease of altered carbohydrate metabolism, then the management involves greatly limiting carbohydrate intake. The degree of restriction varies by person (you have to use your blood glucose meter to detect the impact of different foods so you can learn which foods work for you and which do not), however it can go as low as 20 g a day from some, and up to maybe 130g a day for those who are very mild and more easily managed.
Don't misunderstand, I didn't say people couldn't be vegetarian, I said being vegetarian is more complicated than just giving up eating animals. I managed health food stores for 18 years, and most of us were largely vegetarian, but few of us were entirely so. Supplements are okay, but they're supplements -- not the whole enchilada.
Due to stomach problems, I have decided to try a Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Has anyone experienced relief on this diet?
So basically, this is what I got from it- fresh vegtables, fresh fruits, lean meats, most nuts, NO LACTOSE, NO SUGAR (except in fruits and honey), and NO STARCHES.
Is this about right? Also, what is the policy on yogurt and coconut milk?
t eat, which is the same as non-vegetarians -- simple carbs, which turn to sugar quickly and are stored as fat if not burned. Many vegetarians around the world have a nice soft middle because they eat so much white flour and potatoes and the like. You need to make sure you get your protein. And then you need to exercise.
When used in larger amounts, as in cooking and baking, these calories and carbohydrate should be accounted for by carbohydrate counting or by using starch/bread exchanges. As an example, one half cup of SPLENDA® Granulated contributes 12 grams of carbohydrates and 11 to 20 grams are counted as one starch exchange.
In SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener Packets, sucralose is combined with maltodextrin and dextrose. These ingredients contribute 1 gram of carbohydrate and four calories per packet.
And take vitamine B12. Its common for vegetarians to have a B12 deficiency because its excpecially found in meat. B12 is important for the developping brain.

I'm throwing 1st birthday party for my son. Some of my friends are vegetarians. I have no idea what dishes I should cook. I never cook vegetarian food before. I want something simple and easy. Any suggestions please? Thanks!

A lot of that Vegetarian stuff is all hype. I have patients who are vegetarians all the time who are literaly eaten up with cancer and other diseases. As a nurse and in the opinion of most of the nurses I work with, when a vegetarian comes in sick, they are usually the the ones who seem the weakest and seem to have the most problems. I don't know why that is, but it rings true all too often, enough to make me never want to become a vegetarian.
I went through the same thing, and in researching medications found most to carry a side effect of weight gain. I spoke to my psychiatrist who told me which ones cause weight gain. So, I was switched to one that supposedly didn't have this side effect, and I saw no change. I'm came to the conclusion that I was consuming more calories than I was burning. But you don't want a "diet," you want a way of eating that you can stick with the rest of your life.
