The application has already gained huge popularity. Over 400,000 buyers have downloaded application from a popular Web site selling cell-phone applications.

As popularity of low-carb diets has lost ground throughout 2004 and sales have dropped, company behind Atkins Diet is planning to launch a similar product for mobile phones and handheld computers on market.

The product, available at beginning of 2005, will be so affordable that it will be within reach of any dieter. The application is a carbohydrate counter to help dieters track carbohydrate contents of foods, as well as their own daily carb intake.

The application is a further step within firm's marketing policy of finding new market segments for product -- Atkins diet -- by diversifying means of popularizing it. In this way it also diversifies target audience. An Atkins diet DVD was put on market and sold during 2004-2005 holiday season.

If you want to take a break every now and then from meat, faux or otherwise, stir fries, grilled veggies, and low carb pastas top vegetarian list.

Stir fry your favorite low starch, cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, daikon, radishes, chard, turnips, and watercress. For protein, add in seasoned tofu.

Grill up asparagus, peppers, zucchini, summer squash, or any of veggies above. Marinade your healthy delights in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. For an extra zip, add cayenne pepper.

Go Italian with a low carb pasta topped with your choice of garlic, herbs, and tomatoes. Add a light sprinkle of Romano or Parmesan cheese for perfect touch.

Your low carb world has just gotten a bit brighter—there are so many vegetarian options that you can add to your diet. You don't have to give up meat, but if you want to add variety to your menu, grab something vegetarian today. And, you might just like way those sandals feel after all!
