13 carbs is about 8-10 more than I can handle.  It is a bore.

I hesitate to mention time.  Vegetables dry out if 
sliced and left, presumably, but the value of the 
exercise is doubtful.  I suppose you end up with 
something that resembles the popular food of potato
chips, but, nutritionally, you may as well eat 
vegetables when they're wet.

This subject also reminds me to check whether some 
important items of laundry have dehydrated, yet.
So I'll go and do that.

Salmon dip could just as easily be scooped with raw
veggies, suitably sliced, anyway.  Carrot sticks,
celery, etc.

Hope they didn't turn into sartorial jerky!

Except I don't like raw celery.  And carrots have too high a
glycemic index.

Anyway, Hal has been steadily eating up the salmon dip, so the
problem will solve itself.

  If you slice veggies thin anyway it's no extra bother, but a dehydrator just sits on a countertop taking up space.

  My wife's doctors point out that fiber sort of cancels out carbs (in terms of digestive conversion to sugar over time), and so does protein. Good thing the wife likes grilled cheese sammiches, but we can't overdo those because she also had a heart attack, so we have to watch the fat intake, but we stick to sharp cheddar which you need less of to get the equivalent flavor of less sharp cheese.

  Bread is a problem. The really high-fiber/relatively low glycemic index varieties that we like are expensive as hell, but really flavorful, like Bigfoot and Ezekiel brands.

Not for me, it doesn't.

I can't eat bread at all.  My lunch generally consists of a
couple of slices of ham, with low-fat cheese melted over it in
the microwave.  And some vegetable or other, but (vide supra) the
number of vegetables I can eat and am willing to eat is low.
Usually spinach, but today it was broccoli.

I have never found *any* kind of bread in any store in my part of
the US that's low-carbohydrate.  Gluten-free, yes, up the wazoo,
but I have no trouble with gluten.  I make a sort of English
muffin out of flaxmeal (with vital wheat gluten added) that I can
eat a couple of times a week.  Recipe upon request.

At the class my insurance sent me to, they told us dietary fiber 
counted as half. But it still counted.

You're rather more severely diabetic than most. That makes it much 
more difficult.

Have you tried slices of Aubergine (eggplant)

I choose it for the low calories, but
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/calories/sainsburys-aubergine-per-100g-330510711?v2=false

seems pretty low carb at 2g per 100g (other sources say 6g)

I slice, spread with tomato paste and/or skimmed milk cheese, microwave.

Yes, it is, and I love eggplant, but cooking it generally involves
a certain amount of (a) work and (b) oil.  Or the above and (c)
breading, which is not a good idea.

Also, no one else in the household is willing to touch it, not even
with waldoes.  Once in a blue moon we order in Chinese, and I get
an order of garlic eggplant and get it all to myself over the next
couple of days.

The recipe is very forgiving, hence the 'non-measured' version.

  Well, bread is *designed* to provide carbs, and it depends on what you mean by "low":

  What's the carbs/per for your muffins?

I get pretty bored with it myself.  The real problem is when I

I looked at those.  11 carbs ... 24 ... ouch.

Dammit, I used to know.  I had carefully calculated out the carbs
in the entire 12-muffin recipe and divided by 12.  Then malware took
out ALL my text files.  

But I used to be able to eat one every day for breakfast, except
... flaxmeal is a laxative.  I now eat one twice a week:
otherwise breakfast is two turkey sausages and a couple of
scrambled eggs.

  Do what we do when we go shopping; eat first, then go. It really helps kill the reflexive "I useta be able to eat that" cravings. It also helps to re-categorize junk food as "poison" in your mind, but that takes time.

  Yeah, sometimes dead-tree is the way to go.

  Wife wants to know if you know about hempseed as a food/supplement:

Total Carbohydrates	2g
Dietary Fiber	1g
Sugars	<1g
Protein	11g

  per 3 tbsp "serving", plus omega-3 fatty acids (the "good" kind which is good for anybody plus *all* essential amino acids, minerals and whatnot- it really lives up to the name "superfood". And no, it won't get you high or show up in a drug test. Wife puts it on salads, baked potatoes (I know, you can't eat those either) and all kinds of stuff that can handle the addition of sort of a toasted nutty/savory flavor. It ain't cheap though. We get it at WallyWorld because it's a bit cheaper than at Safeway.

  It does contain about 170 calories per serving but they're protein calories (meaning it can replace some of the meats in your diet), and the fiber does have a "mild" laxative effect, not as much as say wheat bran or flax.

http://www.livestrong.com/article/167905-what-are-the-benefits-of-hemp-seeds/

  You can also get it in flour form to bake with:

http://www.hippiebutter.com/hemp-seed-flour/

  I told her you've researched this nearly to death but that I'd tell you about hempseed Justin Case you hadn't heard of it.

  We know from experience that it's really hard to find decent food in your typical grocery store, but it's not impossible. A couple years ago I read that General Mills and Kellogg's were losing market share and didn't seem to know what to do to fix it, so I wrote them suggesting they rebrand their sugary kid-oriented brands for adults, replacing the sugar with Splenda and doing other things to bring "health food" more into the mainstream. I explained that the demographics of diet have changed drastically- fewer kids overall and more adults who just can't eat high sugar, high gluten, high fat etc. crap and that we're tired of having to look for a "health food aisle". Why not make every aisle the health food aisle?

  Executive VPs actually thanked me for my input and said that the points I made were coming up more and more at internal meetings- the nutrition labels on their products are actually starting to show that at least two Big Food companies see the demographic writing on the wall.

  Wife still can't eat Frosted Flakes, but Rice Krispies are fine.

Mostly Hal does the shopping.  When I go along, I stand in the
pastry aisle (right inside the front door) and sort of whimper
till Hal comes in with the shopping cart and drags me away.  I
*know* I can't eat any of that stuff.  The problem is finding
things I *can* eat and am willing to eat.  I've been ordered to
eat vegetables with every meal.  What, with breakfast? so I drink
some tomato juice.  That leaves lunch and dinner, that also
leaves about three vegetables that fit both the categories above.
It's a hell of a life, said the Queen of Spain.

Not really.

/google

Bob's Red Mill sells "hulled hemp seed hearts, 3T = carbs.  Not
bad, except it doesn't look as if you can bake ~bread with it
unless you grind it yourself.

And they've got a recipe for "hempseed macaroons" which looks
lovely until you look at the ingredients, which is mostly coconut
flour, plus dried cherries! and honey!! and chocolate chips!!!

Doesn't sound at all appetizing, really.  I'm afraid it would
come under the heading of things I could eat if I could stand to
which I don't.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Bob's Red Mill sells an incredible variety of flours/grains/meals/whatnot.

You might look them up and see if they have anything you havne't
tried and might like to.

Giant turkey legs don't do it for you, I guess.
(I think they're pretty nasty myself)

I like meat, and am not wildly enamored of breads, so doing a
low-carb diet is relatively easy for me (though I rarely go as low as
you apparently do. My sympathies.)

I wasn't aware they had giant turkey legs at Disneyland.  I
remember them from long ago at the Renaissance Faire, and they're
meaty, all right, but the masses of tendons (made necessary in
the course of breeding a gigantic turkey that can maybe still
walk while alive) make it hard to get to the meat.

Thanks.

Oh, I like meat too, but it's expensive.  I exist mostly on
sliced ham from Costco, hamburger, and Foster Farms chicken
parts.  It's the lack of variety that gets annoying.
