Carb Counters - New to diet

I have tried so many, many, many, diets in the past and they have all failed. I really want to try a low carb diet because from looking what I eat during the day, its pretty much all carbs. I am a vegan but I am giving myself two weeks off to switch to a low carb vegetarian diet to see if I lose weight. If I dont, then back on to the vegan lifestlye. Both my parents did the Atkins before and lost a lot of weight.I am really praying this works for me because I am so sick of yo-yo dieting. If anyone can give me any advice, please do! Thank you!!

I have know several vegan low carbers before and they have had success, I will say most of us are carnivours, so I hope we do not gross you out. (the doc at my NH is a vegan and I keep teasing him about my hunk of steak or yummy chicken, and he grosses out on me) We will be here to suport you in what ever way we can.

Welcome aboard.

PS What are you dong up o early??? or is it late for you?? either way it is a nasty hour to be up!!

nah people who eat meat don't gross me out, it's their choice. I am not sure on all the things a vegan can eat on a law carb diet, seems harder, so I'm going back to being just a vegetarian. I can't wait to get started and I can't wait to lose the weight!!!! Thank you for the support.

haha yea, it's really late, I couldn't sleep.How about you?
