Even the Induction phase of Atkins can be followed by vegetarians (not by vegans), as Dr. Atkins clearly says in DANDR. Furthermore, Induction is not the only phase of the Atkins Diet, so after the first two weeks you can introduce more vegetables, diary, nuts, berries, legumes, fruits, starchy vegetables and grains, and, if you wish, alcohol, thus expanding your food choices.

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
