I can recommend loads !
http://www.carb-lite.com is a great cooking site.
You can also get recipies and watch videos of a low carb cook here:
http://fittv.discovery.com/fansites/blaine/blaine.html
These don't cost anything of course.
I like Dana Carpenders, 500 Low carb meals and 500 more low carb meals.

I'm with you there, Ally.
There's hardly a recipe in any of my cookery books that couldn't be tweaked to become low-carb. Even no-no's can be replicated pretty easily, and often taste better too. Pureed cauliflower or celeriac beats mashed spuds, grated cauliflower makes a tremendous alternative to fried rice and even pasta can can be faked using parboiled thinly sliced courgette.
The challenge is half the fun.
All the best,

fergus one of my challenges in live is to actually get people to cook!
It is alarming how many people cannot. i think the idea to have recipes on here is a good one
As I am also a sports dietitian I often run cooking workshops for development squads - i cannot believe how bad these kids are at cooking - one of my worst moments was watching a medical student! ccoking a bol sauce with the skin still on an onion. And u wonder why i have a problem with doctors giving diet advice!!! lol
At one squad session we asked kids to bring lunch and I did too . I had some wholegrain sandwiches, fruit , some chopped veggies, - the kids had cans of coke . quavers, and other **** - these were kids in sport competing at a high standard - there is no hope!!!!

I think I will make a new thread ,which will be a 'sticky' at the top of the food forum so that you can all put your tried and tested recipes.

You've lost 5 stone!!that's fantastic,no wonder you want to eat!!The trick now is to find things to eat that does not put your weight back on(been there,am doing that!!)Are you doing exercises as well?
Hi katymac,
You might be in the right place after all! I lost 4 stone 7 years ago, and it never came back, because I eat a diet that is low in carbohydrate, so that it requires relatively little insulin - the hormone that is primarily responsible for building fat stores. The beauty of it is that I can eat as much food as I need to feel hunger free, but the weight stays off.
Take a look around the forum, because I'm not the only one who has enjoyed success at this lark.
All the best,
fergus
