Hi again, FH. I hesitated to say it before, but what I don't like about eco-Atkins is it leans on things like grains and beans - the things that made me sick and fat in the first place. You need to be restrictive with those things because they're high in carbs.

On the plus side, as I think Thud mentioned earlier in this thread, stressing the low-carb veggies and healthy fats (avocados, olives, coconut, nuts and seeds) makes it work.

Although I eat canned salmon, sardines and other small fatty fish for a good shot of protein, calcium and omega 3, I think organic tofu fortified with nigari (calcium) is a great lower carb veg substitute for all that. All the better if you eat eggs and/or yogurt and cheese.

Again, best of luck to you ! Here'she hoping the veggie people will come out of the woodwork here to lend support.
