while back in the US i was noticing all of the 'low carb' products on the shelves, even candy and beer. i have a few friends who have sworn that the atkins low carb diet is the best in the world, but beyond getting a high level understanding of it, and noticing people eating burgers without the bun, i really didn't give it a second look as a vegetarian.
however, on a whim, i recently picked up a new book from www.bookswapper.de, The Vegetarian Low-Carb Diet by Rose Elliot. I was able to choose it because I traded Wally Lamb's She's Come Undone (an Oprah book club one) into the system.
I am further intrigued because this book offers a vegan option additionally in all of its recipes. The recipes seem relatively easy to prepare and simple in ingredient requirements, which is a definite plus for me 'she who cannot cook well'. I'm not sure that I could adhere to such a diet that involves eggs (or substitute a vegan tofu eggless concoction) for breakfast each day (especially as coffee-black and strong is all I need until lunch), nor do I have adherance to a 'diet' per se beyond not eating meat or fish, but any book that offers 'Smoked Tofu kebabs with Peanut Sauce' surely gets my attention.
Stay tuned, this could get interesting.
