mel: when i low-carb, i count effective carbs - carbs minus the dietary fibre. this means that high fibre (low glycemic index) foods are a good part of a low-carb PCOS diet, from what i understand. i don't know about you, but when i am snackish, i crave crunchy salty things (hence the issue with carbs). so veggies make a great snack, especially if you can top them with some nice spice mix, or a spread of some sort (vegan mayo is really good for this, like with cucumbers). my personal favourite though, is these great FinnCrisp crackers. there's only 8g of effective carb for every three you eat, and they come in multigrain, caraway, and regular flavour, and are fat free. for my salt fix, i spread on some marmite (i know this makes most people gag, but i love it, and its great for B vitamins, that vegetarians need to keep an eye on). topped with some crunchy veggies, this is an awesome snack....also try a white bean pesto or a shitake mushroom pate (if home made, you can cut calories and fat on this)... hope this helps.... s.
