I'm just starting to use low carb recipes too, at first I kept it simple but now I'm feeling the energy to put some effort into cooking. I'm having some fun with it and it gives a little variety which is nice although I wasn't feeling particularly deprived before.

I've yet to go shopping for anything but a bra(which is a fiscal nightmare - they really love to soak you once you get into the larger sizes) it's always been too depressing and I don't feel like I've lost enough to look much better in anything... maybe I'll take a look next month
