So...... I fucking love carbs.
I've never even thought about not eating them, but now I am.
A number of my clients, myself included will be running CarbNite/CBL.
I'm quite happy eating steak and zucchini or chicken and broccoli ect, but I'm sure the others (especially my wife) will appreciate some meal ideas.
Chris, viv, munbro?
Cheers in advance
Ive also heard of some people blending up cauli a little to replicate "rice"
yep plenty of recipes online if you google "cauliflower rice' and all low carb. It's really good. I do it too.
Also, low carb cauliflower based pizza bases. Same recipe on a gazillion sites. Google cauliflower pizza base and pick the one you like best. Really nice!
Just be careful of hidden carbs in sausages, dips, sauces, salami, twiggy sticks, stuffings etc
Haha maybe it is my italian heritage but here's the thing:
If there is anything but pure meat, lard, and salt/pepper/spices/herbs in your sausages or salamis, you are buying crap.
They should be 100% carb free. Don't pay for sawdust in your meat.
I don't have recipes that I follow as I make stuff up as I go along but pretty much what the guys have all said is what I'd suggest.
Here are some good recipe blogs/sites that are low carb in principle and have good recipes.
I humbly submit that on the sweet side I also have low carb recipes (and for breads) on my own site and some that can be converted easily.

it's just a few to get you looking.
Hope that helps. If you need any tips on how to convert some recipes to low carb with substitutions, yell out.
BTW, i LOVE LOVE LOVE CBL/CarbNite!! I basically follow the same diet except that I am not doing the fasting part of it for a while (or I'll get beaten up by Chris and my trainer lol).
Kiefer is great. His book is really good.
jason ferruggia's Renegade diet is pretty much along the same lines except he's focussed on eating "clean" so no pastries etc on his diet.
Would love to hear what your experience is on the diet after a month or so.
