Oddly enough I've yet to have tofu, with MSG... in looking at the market i could not find a single brand... if you buy asian based packaged food products, you will find the most MSG content, and that's because of it's intense flavor compared to it's levels of actual soduim... but eating whole foods means not using a bunch of prepackaged foods so you would avoid this by eating healtfully... Louise you are not well informed about vitamin a or omega-3 fatty acids, which aren’t in butter or dairy…

Dr. Atkins actually includes a vegetarian plan. since the diet is a low carb HIGH FAT plan (NOT high protein as you've erroneously stated) it is very easy to adapt for vegetarians. in fact, many vegetarians successfully follow the principles of Atkins's diet. the sad thing is your assertion that "Generally Atkins dieters gain back the weight that they lost once they stopped eating Atkins foods.". isn't that the case with ANY diet, once one returns to eating the same foods that made them fat in the first place? Atkins is meant to be a controlled carb way of life, not a crash diet. hi, I was just wondering if you’ve actually read the Atkins book?

I agree about most processed soy products, but processed is most often the less sensible choice good anyway. I'd say stick to tofu, which is naturally very low in sodium, and then sautee it lightly, etc. Flax seeds are a good source of some omegas, but you do need to watch your omega intake with any kind of vegetarianism/veganism.

That's why it tastes like meat. I would recommend organic miso and some other protein like pea protein or hemp instead. I would also throw in plenty of fish oils because without the butter and dairy you won't get true vitamin A or omega-3 fats.
