The big problem I have found is finding things to replace the starches. Flax meal, almond meal, and coconut meal are okay at replacing bread type things. I have found that dreamfields pasta doesn't spike my blood sugar that much if I cook it correctly. If you want a safer low carb option, there are shirataki noodles. They smell like fish until you rinse them. Their texture is not like regular noodles or rice but they have lots of fiber to fill you up.
Snacking I mostly do nuts: peanuts, pecans, almonds, and walnuts are the best as far as carb count goes. Cashews, macadamias, and hazelnuts are the worst.
