Hi greene,
It's really important to arm yourself with information by following Doreen's suggestion on reading one of the low-carb books above. You will be hungry for a while, but that will change as your body switches from carb burning to fat burning mode. A good carb counting book such as C.T. Netzer's Complete Book of Food Counts is also a must.
If your doing this to lose weight, you have to find out what your maximum amount of carbs would be a day for ongoing weight loss and reading one of the books will ease you into the process.
Both Protein Power and Atkins have lists of low carb vegetables. Fruit is a no-no, except for very limited quantities of berries.
For snacks, celery with blue or cream cheese, pork rinds, microwave sliced turkey with cheese and eat with pickles (sugar free of course!), hollow out hot pickled cherry peppers and fill them with cubes of cheese and a slice of prosciutto or ham, make a dip for raw cauliflower and bell peppers with crisp bacon, cream cheese and a spoonful of salsa etc....
