Applause...reading your post this morning brought a smile to my face..Congratulations!

There are some wonderful vegiterian, low carb, high protien meals that are delicious besides fish and beans. It all depends on what your taste buds call for. Try to step out of your box and make some ethnic dishes like Arab or Indian dishes. They are high in spices and can be very low carb and healthy and yummy. I'm making eggplant parmesean for dinner tonight...a first ...I usually have the fried chicken patties.
