You replied in the right place. I started with the New Atkins 2010 book, and only jotted down the net carbs of food I ate on paper with pencil. Worked great! Only suggested the pie chart to make the % method clear...but not at all necessary.

The book you have (called DANDR here ) is summarized in sticky at top of this forum. ^^^ http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=236482
There are limits for cheese, cream, etc.then add butter on vegetables as needed to keep you satisfied.

Found a great new video "How to Start LCHF" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4D...eature=youtu.be

20-30 total carbs to start if want to lose weight, 4 palm size servings of protein (about 80 grams for a woman, 120 for a man) and only extra fat to satiety. Most fat will come from real food in your meals and your body.
