You might wonder if a vegan low carbohydrate diet isn't overly restrictive. It's true that it cuts out quite a few things most people are used to eating, both animal products and high carb foods. But really, there are plenty of things left to make up a healthy nutritionally complete and tasty varied diet.

I tried to list all the things you can eat while being low carb and vegan. Building blocks for a healthy animal and environmentally friendly diet! I didn't even get everything (so many foods!), but it paints a nice picture of variety. I also didn't list any of the things you can make yourself, like lc breads and muffins. I tried to put the lowest carb foods at the front of the lists and slightly higher carb foods towards the back, but I didn't look up all the exact nutritional values, so I might have messed up here and there.
