I am trying to dig up information on low-carbing for vegetarians. So
far, I've found the obvious things. Tofu, soy protein, and Quorn.
And for vegetarians who aren't afraid of animal products: eggs,
cheeses, Macadamias, and certain dairy products. And of course,
low-carb vegetables like sprouts.
Is there anything else I should be aware of? Seems like vegetarians
have it much harder than the rest of us.

Here's the acceptable induction foods list from the atkins website. Scroll
down for a long list of veggies. Not sure how you'll satisfy the fat part of
the diet, but good luck.

What animal does the macadamia come from? And what part of the
macadamia do you eat? The nuts?

The poor little Macadamias! Haven't they suffered enough?

I am vegan and am also trying to go low-carbs, so I understand your
situation well. r+p rosie offered this link for me, which also contains
links to other LC veggie sites:

If you use the Atkins list, be sure not to say you're doing Atkins, though.
Some people 'round these parts have a problem with that. ;)

Why the self-imposed pain? Hmm I spose you could eat nuts and brocolli all
day.

You can add other nuts, especially walnuts.
