Low Carb recipes

Does anyone have any low carb recipes?
OH is on a low carb diet, and is desperately trying to avoid bread and potato, and pasta (and most of my recipes include either potato or pasta!)
I'm really struggling to feed him!

How about some thick veg soups? You can bulk them out with beans (kidney, borlotti, canellini etc)

Can you replace potato with sweet potato?

meat, meat and more meat im afraid,

many veg have carbs in them, I did a low carb diet for a while, but I noticed my hair started to thin and fall out and my skin dried up....so I gave it up after a few weeks.

Is it a faddy diet hes on or is it health related ? either way too much protien not enough carbs can cause havoc with the thyroid so a balanced diet is best...if he has potato, only have enough that equalls the size of his fist, the same with pasta ect, a good rule of thumb is to have servings that equall the size of your fist xx

There seems to be as many carbs in sweet potato as there is in normal potatos!
Bulking soups/stews with beans is a good idea.

We already eat loads of meat, you still need other things! I'm running out of ideas lol

He isn't looking at loosing loads of weight, just a little, and we know carbs are his downfall - they make him put on weight, and also make him more hungry, and when he's hungry, he'll eat and eat!

Everything pretty much has carbs in it, so he is getting carbs, but wants to try and avoid things with lots in (which seems to be bread/potato/cereals/pasta etc)
