I started this thread because some people were curious as to what a low carb vegan eats and how it can be done.
Well, I am here to tell you that it CAN be done, be done well and with plenty of GOOD EATS!!!
So, I'll be listing what I eat from time to time, and if anyone wants to share a good low carb vegan food, meal, recipe, idea or has a question, this would be a good place for it.
Low carb vegan foods are great for non-vegan low carbers too! Lots of fiber and flavor is to be had the low carb vegan way.
