I have tried several low carb plans and finally settled on LOW CARBING FOR DUMMIES written by Katherine Chauncey RD, PhD who is a professor and clinician at Texas Tech Medical Center. I have a very delicate digestive system and this plan seems to be the best for me. The main thing about this plan is that you eliminate all refined sugar, flour, mixes, etc. from your diet and moderate all carbohydrates and dairy. I hope to get some support and encouragment from other low carbers on this forum. I have hypothyroidism and weigh well 250 lbs. but hope to lose 100 lbs. in 2004.

Welcome to the forum, Fluffybear! If you're looking for support and encouragement, this is definitely the place to be. It's so helpful being able to share with people who have "been there, done that".

Looks like you're off to a good start. Congratulations on losing 10 pounds!

I was just joking with my daughter the other day that they should write a "Dummies" book about low carb... I didn't know they HAVE one! :lol:

Hi There Fluffy bear, and welcome to the forum. This is the best place to get support and answers if you have any questions. Now I have to admit I did not know there was a book low carbing for dummies, that is just great.

Good luck and hope to see you beginning a journal so we can all watch your progress.
