Maybe try sticking a load of veg (any veg you like but I like swede/turnips/peppers etc), in a dish, drizzle with olive oil and believe me, after 30 minutes you have a fab tasting big bowl of veg for you and the family. I know 'root' veg are higher in carbs but you can easily have a large bowl for around 20 carbs and they taste fabulous, not like boring old boiled veg.If you are able to, buy a one pot/pressure cooker and you can chuck whatever you like in it, *I use veg again, any old meat or sausages & some stock), leave it for as long as you like and bingo, a tasty casserole with NO effort.Maybe get some fish in as well and have that with some veg, you can add potatoes for the family (you won't miss them when you are chomping on your veg, honestly) and you won't feel deprived either.I say keep it simple food wise, you do not need to be cooking a million ingredients meal, what you need is a 'throw it all in a pot and leave it' approach whilst you get your head around things. By the way you can also put chicken in the pot and do a curry or a chilli, as low carb as you like.x</blockquote>
