Would you say that the Atkins diet would be the opposite of a Vegan diet?

if not, what would be?

I was vegan for a year before my pregnancy.....I ate a ton of carbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. They are diametrically opposite. The Atkins diet consists of mainly meat, and the vegan diet is no meat. Neither of these diets is healthy because it limits vital sources of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that are essential to health. The only diet I would adhere to is no diet -- just a healthy eating plan that includes all nutritious foods.

no because the atkins is all about restricting carbs and you could do that as a vegan- just eat tofu and legumes all the time.

very much so you eat very few vegetabls on the atkins diet it is better to work out some sought of balance.

yeah I just was thinking about that the other day.
Animal protien has very minimal carbs and lots of fat.

Vegetarian protien can only happen when you mix legumes with grains, or seeds/nuts with grains, or legumes with seeds/nuts.

All this stuff has carbs in it, so you would get a lot of carbs with your protien.

No, I wouldn't say that. Atkins emphasizes protein over carbohydrate intake, which does result in a meat-centric menu. The Vegan goal is obtaining a complete, balanced diet without consuming animal products.

I suppose the 'opposite' of the Vegan diet would be one that is strictly carnivorous - one that focuses on consuming *nothing but* animal products.
