Default How to start a low-carb diet? -a begginer

I'm over forty, quite tall an rather fit but I've put on a couple of
pounds last winter. Sugar levels turned out too high this year so I've
been on pills for a couple of month (diabetes type II). My doc told me
to cut eating bread and pasta, but that's it. I am not a much of a meat
eater, and I've read some web pages about low carb diet - Im especially
interested in loosing some weight and getting rid of the diabetes.

Can someone, who actually did loose weight and got rid of the diabetes
by low-carb diet, give me some advice and help with starting the diet? I
love pasta, I used to eat dumplings and pies, but I could live without
meat. I'm not really keen on sweets, cakes etc, but liife without bread,
rice and pasta is quite tough for me. OK, I've reduced these kinds of
food, but what else? I guess I have to replace those with meat in many
forms, yoghurts, buttermilk etc. - but what else? Any websites, good
books and personal advice would be mostly appreciated. What to start
with?
