    Check out some of these recipes, websites, and forums for low carb eating and recipes.

    Here are some of the websites and groups:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=low+carb+groups (there are also groups/forums at Reddit, and many of them at Facebook)

    https://www.google.com/search?q=low+carb+websites

    https://www.google.com/search?q=low+carb+blogs

    Btw, you should know that there are degrees of strictness in low-carb diets (or "ways of eating") though, mostly depending on the total amount of carbs allowed per day (and most low carb diets count "net carbs" but the stricter ones often use "total carbs").

    For example, the strictest would be the ketogenic (keto) diet, the most lenient would probably be the Paleo diet and the "new" version of Atkins and similar ones, with diets like LCHF (low carb, high fat) and "original" Atkins being in-between.

    Once you figure out which diet/way of eating you'd want to follow, then just google search strings like these (also click on the word IMAGES at top of the results pages):

    ... recipes keto

    ... recipes LCHF

    ... recipes Paleo

    ... low carb foods (though be prepared for disagreement here and there)

    ... high carb foods

    ... how to low carb

    ... low carb snacks

    Also see the two videos below which give a bit of reasoning and history behind low-carb versus high-carb diets, etc.

    Zoodles for noodles

    Cauliflower for rice or potatoes

    Flax for crackers

    Lettuce for tortillas/bread

    Keep your favorite sauces around to flavor everything you love.

    Even on a zero carb diet, you may still get diabetes[ lucky you ] since it is on both sides of your family .

    Here is a very low carb day :

    Breakfast-2 eggs scrambled with green peppers and onions with pieces of ham and melting cheese.

    Add a low carb fruit :A cup of berries .

    Snack :Low carb nuts.https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/nuts

    Lunch : a huge salad with protein such as tuna, chicken, pork,and so on.Add lots of low carb veggies and dressing .

    Just remember what is high in carbs and avoid them. No potatoes with your dinner - just have some more other vegetables to fill up your plate. Avoid pasta, bread, rice, and added sugar. That'll be enough to get your carb intake down to a non-diabetes-inducing level.

    Of course the famous low-carb diet is Dr Atkins, and there's at least one Atkins recipe book (written by his wife!) full of ideas. The diet is for losing weight, and it will do that if you follow it strictly. The idea is that avoiding carbs gives you no "quick-fix" calories so your body will have to turn to burning up stored fat, and that'll cut your weight. Once you're down to a good weight, you can be more relaxed about carbs, but still watch them. To some extent, it's true that fat people have more of a diabetes problem.

    Just for one I happen to like, http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/chicken-recipes... gives you dinner all in one pan. No potatoes, pasta or rice, and it makes up for that by giving you a whole leek to eat (I've noticed most recipes including leeks use about half a leek per person). Now look at the carb level on that page - see what I mean?

    Hamburger wrapped in lettuce leaves instead of bread. Omelets with cheese and vegetables. Mushrooms stuffed with cheese and sausage and baked. Crustless spinach or broccoli quiche. There are tons of low carb recipes online. I've even seen pizza with a cauliflower crust.

    There are no recipes - just avoid high carb foods and recipes or limit intake some amount of carb is required

    Any Sugar

    Any starchy vegetable/grain (Potatoes, beans, corn, peas, limas, etc)

    All bread products

    Fruits are carbs - but a good choice.

    Read the labels on canned goods and sauces if the carbs from sugar is greater than 25% of the total carbs - don't buy it.

    Exercise will work better than no carbs

    Some carbs are good for you as they will keep you feeling full and stop you reaching for snacks. High intake of alcohol and sugar will increase your risks of diabetes.

    Vegetable stir fry with brown rice.

    Vegetable soup with potatoes.

    Grilled chicken / fish with salad.

    Lean meats.

    Lentil / bean casserole.

    Boiled eggs are a filling healthy snack. Great in salads too.

    If you are going to eat bread / rice / pasta chose wholewheat.

    Potatoes - jacket potatoes, boiled potatoes. Avoid chips.

    Avoid processed foods that are high in fat and sugar.
