[QUOTE="Deleted member 475901, post: 2636099"] The low carb program has some low carb meal ideas for vegans, and if your local health body is funding it you can get a voucher to join as it is approved by the NHS. Otherwise, look very carefully at your reaction to pulses, I have to mainly avoid them but others are fine with small portions. And plant milks vary a lot in the amount of carbs, even if made from the same nut different brands vary. I'm not vegan but some generic tips. Buy a decent meter and at first test before then 2 hrs after every meal., If it spikes too high the meal had too many carbs you are aiming for no more than a 2mmol/L rise. Note that eating fats with the meal may delay the spike a little. I carb counted and tested everything for the first few weeks, then as my numbers fell I counted/tested any new foods/new combinations plus a day per week of testing after every meal. A lot of work at first but it gets much easier over time. [/QUOTE]
