milk, juice and smoothies? I don't see low carb in here at all. You should swap these with vegetables, esp the green leafy ones. you can eat tons of non-starchy veg and still be relatively low carb. and don't forget the fat.

I had equated carbs with pasta,rice, cous-cous and spuds

Fruit (juices, smoothies etc...)) are high in sugar and therefore high in carbs.

Plus one on the veg. You have basically no vegetables there at all! It looks like more of an Atkins style diet to me, but maybe that's your intention? Get some good veg into you. They'll give you some necessary carbs without the crap of white pasta and other stereotypical carbs.

Diet looks like it would be fairly high in cals if you're trying to lose weight but then that is relative to your current size and height so I can't tell for sure.

Yeah I guess it could be Atkins-esque. The constipation is becoming worse.

Then you need (a lot) more fat or more veg
