    I love fruit so it's hard to do a low carb diet for me, the carbs jump right up with fruit and yogurts. Mostly veggies and meat I guess.

    Low carb diets does take off weight fast, but they always make me very tired and I get more headaches. Make sure you take a good multi-vitamin. I like the Atkins protein shakes if i am too busy to eat lunch. Their snack bars are delicious if you need a treat. Whenever I follow a low carb diet I try to use a lot of spices in my meals. Breakfast is usually eggs with spinach and light blue cheese with salsa. lunch is mixed greens with chicken or shrimp and low sugar dressing. Dinner is broiled salmon or scallops in light cream sauce and lots of veggies. Try the atkins website they have a ton of free recipes! Good Luck!

    I found a recipe on the Choose to Lose website last week and fixied. Pretty simple, shrimp, tomatoes, a little olive oil, low fat feta cheese & I used lemon pepper & fresh Greek oregano. I'm sure if you go to the website it will still be there. He posts a lowcarb recipe each week.

    I don't have a specific low carb recipe for you but, a tip. I love to cook and use a web site called Super Cook to find recipes withing my healthy eating plan. On this site you can add all ingredients in your kitchen. I choose to only add ingredients in my plan. You can add exclusions like butter, dairy, sugar etc. Then, it will search the Internet and list all recipes that can be created with the food I have on hand. Because I only enter food within my diet plan I am able to find recipes which work for me. This allows me to continue cook and eat with my large family of 6 and remain within the parameters of my diet. It also, allows you to click specific ingredients you want to use in a recipe that day. Love the site! You may be able to use it and find nutrition values on the recipe page which would alert you to low carb options. Hope this helps!
