Then what does a vegetarian eat?

Low-carb generally is somewhere in the vicinity of 20-100 g of
carbohydrate per day. What is good for you depends on why you're doing
low-carb, weight-loss, diabetes, high cholesterol, and how your body
reacts, etc.

As for the vegetarian thing... Google this group about it. There was a
vegetarian poster here a year or so ago who posted lots of recipe ideas
and such. I think she also did fish, so wasn't a strict vegetarian,
though lots of her recipes were vegetarian.

As far as I've heard, vegetarian is do-able as low-carb, but not vegan.
Apparently, if you cut out eggs and dairy and such, you can't get
enough protein as a vegan without eating a relatively high carb level
as the plants that contain protein also contain a lot of carbs.

The book "Protein Power" addresses vegetarians too, but it's limited.
IMO, it is the best overall introduction to low-carb diets if you
haven't read any of the books yet.

Again, it depends on what you want to do. If you don't need to lose
weight, control blood sugar or lower cholesterol or such... you might
try the Zone, which isn't exactly low-carb, but is lower than most
diets. And likely easier to do vegetarian than most of the other
low-carb diets.
