I just spied your "low carb" post below, and was wondering if you'd help me out with some low carb meal ideas?

I'm a carb fiend. I love bread SO much, and potatoes. I'm wondering how on earth I'm going to cut these things out. 

If I get a chance today, I'm going to google some meal ideas, but I'm stumped right now.  I'm also pretty heartbroken about cutting out a lot of fruit :(

    That's the thing...cutting out fruit? I just couldn't do it. So I've modified a lot of my diet to be carb-reduced, but I'll never give up my grapefruit or pineapple or watermelon. NEVER!

    A girl's got to keep her sanity, you know?

    I love carbs too, so it's been kind of tough, but it seems like it's getting a little easier.  I'm still eating some fruit, I think it's too healthy to totally cut out, it's got lots of fiber and vitamins, besides it helps with my sweet tooth.  I use to make a lot of pasta or potato based dishes, so it's been a change.  Right now I'm making a meat dish and then a side of veggies.  I'm not a big salad eater.

    Meat dishes:

    Kabobs - beef, chicken or shrimp

    Chicken breasts

    Turkey breast - this is a favorite seasoned with black pepper

    Shrimp that has been seasoned

    Stir fry

    Hamburger steaks

    Steaks

    Eggs with salsa

    Salmon steaks

    I really like chicken eggs rolls and they are not high in carbs, maybe not the best choice, but certainly not the worst.

    I just ran across this Shrimp Salad recipe and plan to give it a try, probably tonight since I have every thing.

    It's by no means LOW-carb, but I've tried eating the same things just heavy on the... whatever.

    Pasta Primaver (sp?) but tons of veggies/chicken and only a little pasta

    Rice/Curry - I make my own curry and omit carb-y stuff like potatoes

    Nachos - For this reason alone I will always love DH. Make anal nachos. Get one chip, LOAD with vegetarian/low-fat refried beans, fresh salsa and 2% cheese, microwave/back till melty and top with fat-free/reduced fat sour cream, onions, etc.

    Mashed cauliflower is a wonderful fake-out for mashed potatoes... no it's not the SAME but if you're craving that creamy thing, cauliflower and reduced fat creamy something is great.
