South Beach or Sugar Busters is probably much more vegetarian friendly. There is a vegetarian plan on many low carb plans, but you would need to read the book and get the specifics.
As for nectarines, quite a few fruits are not allowed on carb restricted plans. You would have to eat the lower glycemic fruits, such as berries. High sugar fruits like bananas, pineapples and mangoes are out. I can't remember the restrictions on South Beach or Sugar Busters, but nonfat yogurt is not on the Atkins plan. Most nonfat items are replaced with starches and sugars. You would need to read the labels. On Atkins, post induction, you can have plain full fat yogurt. The idea of the full fat is that all foods are basically fat, protein or carb. You are restricting the carbs, so that leaves fat and protein.
I tried Low Carb Vegetarian once. It wasn't easy, but it is possible! Fruits were mostly out. At first, they always are, but then you can reintroduce them. Vegetables will be your main source of food, and eggs if you eat them. Sugar Busters and phase 2 of South Beach will probably be easier for you so you can stretch your meals with whole grains. Have you looked into those plans?
