I have not been following a low-carb diet for some time now, but decided to keep this site up because of all the useful information and recipes. Back in 1999, when I first started, there were very few low-carb packaged products, so you will find many recipes for making your own breads, ketchup, etc. - things that are now available in low carb versions.
Following is an explanation of the pages on the site:

Recipes

These include only those recipes which I have tried (and enjoyed). Nutritional counts are included for most of them, but you should always check for yourself. Recipe pages include:

Meats (Beef, Pork, Lamb)
Poultry
Fish (including Shellfish)
Ground Meats
Desserts
Other (Breads, Eggs, Cheese, Sauces/Condiments, Vegetables)

Carb Counts

Nutritional counts, including carbs, fiber, fat, calories and protein, for many of the frequently-used foods, including a table just for Spices.

Induction Menus

There are two weeks worth of menus for induction, with each day's carbs totaling 20 or under. Most include a recipe link. Page #2 includes four sample menus, compiled by Dottie of the Low Carb Friends Bulletin Board, and includes menus for those who like a larger breakfast, and for those who would rather have 5 or 6 smaller meals.

Breakfast & Lunch Ideas

Especially for those who don't like to cook much, or who are tired of eating the same thing each day.
