Question for Vegetarians or Vegans

How does a vegetarian or vegan stay on a low carb-high protein diet? I can never seem to balance the two or tip the scales towards higher protein without a diet of sickeningly fake-sweetened whey protein shakes (ick) or the abundance of carbs that come with healthy, organic, fresh fruits, veggies, and beans. 
Thanks.

It's reasonably easy for a vegetarian because they can still eat yogurts, cheeses, dairy, eggs, etc.  It's near impossible to be vegan and low-carb.

That said, complex carbohydrates from whole food sources are not your enemy.  Avoid sugar and avoid highly processed starches like white flour but whole foods like beans, fruits, and vegetables are key to total health.

Check out the link above to get some more ideas maybe.  Of some note there is protein in several veggies as well.

Thank you.
