http://www.lowcarbluxury.com A pretty online magazine crammed with information on low carbing. It features recipes, tips, book reviews and links to other sites of interest. It is not very interactive as it contains no message boards or chat, however it is such a good site that doesn't matter.
http://www.holdthetoast.com At first glance this site seems like an advertisement for Diana Carpenter's book, however there is so much more here.
