I follow a plant based diet with limited bread, white potatoes, starchy vegetables. We eat tons of fresh veggies with a simple hummus for snacks (chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice).

I've found recipes for gluten free brownies (no flour, just beans! and no added sugar, just fruit to sweeten). The internet abounds with recipes! Try fatfreevegan.com - some recipes there without too many carbs.
