Substitute pasta for strips of courgette. Any pasta sauce (tomato based ones work best) over a bit of boiled courgette is lovely.

I've also been substituting mashed potatoes for mashed cauliflower. Add a bit of milk/butter/cream and it tastes delish.

Lots of meat and veggies, eggs are good like scrambled or omlettes. Bacon, egg mushrooms etc without the toast and hash browns!

I've been on a no carb diet for a week now and my stomach is looking alot smaller. The only trouble with the courgette one is

Atkins die tor similar can be very boring....

Try:-

Fajitas style chicken beef - served in lettuce leaves is quite nice or substitue very thin omelette as a wrap?

Large field mushroom stuffed with garlicy mince

Mousaka with lots of aubergine & salad seems to work too

Are you on a strict non carbohydrate diet where you cannot eat pulses either?

I made a lovely coating for some chicken breasts last week.

Dipped them in a mixture of egg, parmesan and paprika.

Then rolled them in (unsweetened ) dessicated coconut.

The coconut absorbed some of the chicken fat, browned nicely and made a rather nice crunchy coating that tastes better than breadcrumbs (not just a substitute). I used breasts with skin, as well.

I dubbed it "Tongue Thai'd Chicken!"

Mrs. Bleads swore by leeks and cauliflower mashed as an alternative for spuds. Or turnip chips were ok though they need a bit of something like Cayanne on them.

Puy Lentils, fetta, basil, some garlic, sun-blushed tomatos and a splash of balsamic is very good. In fast lentils can make a good alternative to rice with a lot of things though they do make you a bit farty (particularly the red ones).

Aren't lentils a bit steep in carbs, though?

I thought they were mostly protein, perhaps I'm wrong.

Not all lentils and they are a very good source of protein for vegetarians.
