I'm not sure if this has already been posted, but I had to share it since I just found it.

Low Carbohydrate Recipes

On a low carb or low glycemic diet, watching your blood sugar, or just looking for healthy recipes? Our recipes are created with the glycemic index as our guide. The glycemic index for any recipe will be lower than for any single ingredient. Adding fat, fiber and protein slows the absorption of carbohydrates, helping to control insulin response. Remember, portion size really does matter. Too much food eaten at any one time will trigger those unwelcome insulin surges needed to "clean up" excess glucose.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.
