Can you use chili pepper?

I know from looking into the Atkins books that he doesn't suggest the induction for vegetarians, but what is one to do, if I as a veg would like to follow Atkins?

I tried to go vegan for a month but suspected my b12 values went WAY down, so I am back with eggs and cheese. I felt the difference immediately. And I felt calmer. What a change. I read saturated fat is important for memory as well as b12.

Help, should I go back to fish or meat eating for b12?

@VelvetGold18 You should be able use any peppers.

As for Induction as a vegetarian, you certainly can do it -- especially if you eat eggs. You don't need meat to do Atkins, but you do need two things -- source of protein and source of fat. Eggs are a great source of both actually, and extremely versatile in how you use them. If you also eat dairy, you will no trouble whatsoever with Atkins, and I actually knew a few people doing ovo-lacto or just lacto-vegetarian Atkins.

@VelvetGold18 That is not to say it is bad to eat meat, but I just wanted to give you hope that it is possible without meat.

Just made this soup and it is amazing. I added a spoonful of pesto and the a bit of parm right before I ate it! Yum :) Thanks

@supakb20 I am glad you liked it!

[aliciamichael]

does it have to be RED peppers? May I use Green instead? I cant get red at this time.

[bowulf]

@aliciamichael Green peppers are slightly stronger than red peppers (less mature), so you can certainly do it with green peppers just expect slightly more "taste" than if you had used red. However, other than that, they'll work just fine.
