Low carb web sites? + Hypoglycymia & low carb

[pete]

I have been checking into this group and getting lots of good
information
and some good training ideas. Instead of just lowering portions I want
to try lowering my daily carb intake. Does anyone have any good web
sites on low carb & sites that list portions and types of food with
carbs? The sites I have searched out have not been productive. I know
potatoes , rice , and breads are no no's but what else is included. I
have started looking at labels and am shocked that my Shredded Wheat and
Cherrio's are loaded with carbs.
Also I am Hypoglycemic. I rarely have any problems with it but are there
any considerations I should look at when going low carb?

TIA

Are you diabetic and taking insulin? You might want to check out the
diabetes newsgroups, alt.support.diabetes, etc. In any case, Dr Atkins
is one of the low carb gurus, although I don't have a URL handy - a
google search should bring up his site. I think Bernstein is another.

Basically carbs are high in starchy foods, which you have mentioned,
i.e., anything cereal-based, and in fruits and anything with added
sugar, of course. Most vegetables and salad items are low in carbs
though.
