I think I will give this a try - thank you for all the information. I've been keeping my carbs around 30 a day for 4 weeks. I lost a lot the first week, some the second, some the third, and just 1 lb. the 4th week...but looking back at my notebook, I've been eating far leaner meats recently. So now I know that I'm going to make turkey salad with mayo for lunch. We were going to have lean ham and eggs for supper tonight, but I'm low on ham anyway, so I'll thaw some breakfast sausage instead.

I need to use a tracker and plug in my stuff to figure my percentages - any recommendations? (thanks!)
