I'm very new to the LC info. My husband has to begin a strict diet which I get the honor of preparing. No sugars of any kind, no carbs, no dairy; basically meat & vegetables (with exeptions to some of those). He has severe eczema which we believe is caused by intestinal yeast infection. If any one has any recommendations on sites that might provide dietary information, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum Teramy!

Two good sources for the explanation behind and guidelines are the books Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution and Protein Power. You and your husband should read both books so you'll both have a greater understanding of how low-carb works.

Besides having the honor of cooking for him, consider joining him. Low-carb is fantastic for increasing energy levels, clearing skin, alleviating aches and pains, lowering LDL cholesterol, and of course, the marvellous side effect of weight loss.

This page will give you a good overview, but it no where near has the detail of the books. There are also many other LC links from this page.

Keep posting on how it's going for the both of you.
