Hi and welcome. I am tagging @daisy1 to send you the welcoming info. It will answer a lot of questions and is the best place to start. It also includes a link to the free low carb program here on the site. As for what to eat it does not have to be too hard. Here are some suggestions for meals.
Breakfast: eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese, veggie omelette, fried tomatoes or mushrooms, avocado, full fat unsweetened greek yogurt with nuts or berries added, low carb breakfast muffin (google this), coffee with cream and no sugar (can use sweetener)
Lunch: Salads with meat, fish, eggs, cheese, full fat dressing, veggies and full fat dip, any meat and steamed veggies, hard boiled eggs, lunch meat and cheese rolled together with full fat mayo and mustard if you like, avocado, olives, pepperoni, nuts, greek yogurt
Dinner: Any combination of meat or fish and non root veggies. Melt butter on the veg for fat and flavor. Cheese is good on veg too. A couple of squares of 80% or higher chocolate is fine for dessert.
Avoid potato, rice, pasta, root veggies, most fruit, bread and anything made with flour or at least keep portions very small.
Juice is huge sugar and not a good idea.
These are just suggestions and by no means all the low carb foods. I hope it helps.

Hi you have put to avoid potato root veggies and fruit, bread I have not been told to avoid these things by my diabetic nurse and also you have put to eat greek yogurt where I have been told to watch the sugar in yogurts so I am now more confused than before

Just for comparison, I am T2D on a ketogenic diet and I eat 20g carbs, 150g fat, 60g protein, which makes about 1700 calories in total. You are doing OK, but not pushing any envelope as yet!Thank you everyone I sat last night and made up some meals and finally did a food shop I wasnt ready to do a full one, I am running an app called lifesum and changed the levels to give me 100g carbs a day and 1300 calories and automatically its given me 130g protein and 43g of fat a day but today Ive gone over the fat by 16g. I put salami on the chicken served with cauliflower rice salami is full of fat but is this ok how much fat a day is ok i was 12stone 7 on friday last week now 12 stone so losing weight quickly (not complaining about this lol) but worried fat is gonna put weight on me i need to get to 10.6 for healthy bmi so quite bit to lose
My app food says i had 43g carbs 1187 calories 86g protein 64g fat exercise 156 calories to be removed
Also getting a weird aching jaw feeling
Sorry for all the questions thank you
