foods to avoid
Hi, Poncho, welcome!
As Wa'il says, it's best to start with a book. Atkins or the Eades' "Protein Power" are what most of us use, but other plans are out there. One or more of these books will give you the basics.
In general, foods to avoid or strictly limit are:
-sugar, honey, and other sweetners (except for no-calorie artificial sweetners such as Equal or Splenda)
-rice, flour, and other grains
-most beans (green beans are OK, soybeans are OK in limited quantities)
-most fruits (small quantities might be OK, depending on which plan you're on)
-starchy or sweet vegetables such as potatoes, winter squash, beets, carrots, etc.
Generally, what's OK to eat:
-meat, fish, poultry
-eggs, cream (not milk), cheese
-green leafy vegetables
-other non-starchy vegetables such as cauliflour, radishes, celery, brocolli, eggplant, etc.
Hope this starts you off, but there's no substitute for research!
