Here's an excerpt from Protein Power which I think is the best low carb way of eating, at least for me. If anyone wants more information on this diet to control blood sugar or lose weight, read the book Protein Power by the Drs. Eades and check out the following site:

Protein Power in a nutshell.
10. The best kind of exercise to do for weight loss and health is weight training, or "resistance training".
9. Our cave-man ancestors for hundreds of thousands of years ate mainly animal protein, with a few wild vegetables and nuts thrown in. Most of our bodies are still designed to eat this way most of the time and doing otherwise can cause us tremendous health problems.
8. The main culprit of many of our health problems today is the excess insulin produced by our body to handle the excess of carbs and sugar in our diet. The only way to fix this is by eating a diet low in refined carbohydrates.
7. Carbs are the same thing as sugar – your body breaks them down in no time. Eating a potato or a bowl of spighetti is basically the same thing to your body as eating a cup of sugar.
6. The hardest part of the plan happens in the first week or two. It's normal to experience a lot of carb cravings and fatigue during this period. But if you make it through this “carb withdrawal,” you will come out on the other side with newfound energy and vitality and almost no cravings whatsoever.
5. Critics of low-carb plans are mainly following the old, tired dogma of those of have not kept up with the accumulating research that supports such plans. Some of them are finally starting to cave under the accumulating weight of the many studies that are continuing to show how healthy and affective this way of eating is.
4. Protein Power is not a NO-carb plan, but a low-carb one, emphasizing the consumption of the healthiest types of carbs: vegetables (except starchy ones like potatoes, peas, carrots, and corn) and some fruits that are lower in sugar and higher in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants (like berries, peaches, melon). Adding fat to your vegetables greatly increases how easily they are absorbed by the body
3. Fats are not what make you fat, despite their density of calories, but rather are essential for your body’s health, especially monounsaturated fats found in nuts, olive oil, and fish. The worst kind of fat is Trans Fat, an artificially engineered fat found in baked goods, shortening, margarines, some mayonnaise, some salad dressings, and even some peanut butter under the guise of “partially hydrogenated” oil or even just “soybean oil” as listed on the label.
2. Refined Carbs (especially grains, deserts, candy, and soda) are evil! Well, if not evil, they are at least very, very, very bad for you!
1. And the number one thing to remember about Protein Power: Getting an adequate amount of protein is essential to your health. It helps maintain or increase your muscle tissue which makes you stronger, enhances your endurance, and increases your metabolism so that you burn more calories just sitting still. Most non-animal sources of protein (with the main exception of soy) simply does not contain enough of it and even a great deal of what it does contain is unusable by your body. Don’t skimp on it in order to avoid the fat that is often packaged with it.
