I am on a low carb and low GI diet. What can I eat for dinner other than stir fry?

No pasta, potatoes, rice etc, no sugar, no mixing proteins. I am finding it hard to come up with ideas of what to eat!
Answer:
I have been on Atkins for 4 years and I discover something new every day. Here are my favorites: low carb fried chicken, mashed cauliflower ( which is quite tasty ), Southern style collard greens. Dessert, put a few raspberries in a parfait glass then add a layer of home made whipped cream. Alternate the layers until glass is filled. Sprinkle the top with crushed macadamia nuts.4-6 oz steak with grilled shimp, grilled zuchini and onions. Sugarfree pudding for dessert.cream of pumpkin soup-chilled, grilled tilapia or red snapper, spring green salad. low carb yogurt and blueberries for desserthamburger topped with avocado,tomato and onion salsa, green beans or 3 bean salad made with green beans, wax beans, black soy beans, sliced onions and Italian dressing. A good low carb brownie with strawberries and whipped creamchicken salad ( fresh chopped chicken, celery, mayo, sesame seeds or walnuts ) sliced avocado and tomato salad a glass of sugarfree iced tea with a squirt of lemon. How about making some good low carb spaghetti sauce and homemde meatballs on top of spaghetti. Or you could use spaghetti squash in place of spaghetti.Or you could make eggplant lasagna which really tastes more like eggplant parm without the breading. A spinach salad made with fresh spinach, sliced bell pepers and tomatoes and Italian dressing.I am making myself hungry. One thing I want to point out is the nutrient packed foods that I listed here. If you are a serious low carber, you will be among the healthiest people in the diet community. It really isn't brains suregery, it is just thinking outside the bread box.
I could go on and on and on. Low carb is really easy and fun to do.
well you can always eat meat eggs...vegetable soup
Have you ever tried "Hamburger Salad"--cook up some hamburger meat like normal and then use it as one of the toppings to your salad--fix it the way you like it---It's quick and simple and brings something a little different.
