Not the answer to your question, but a few things you should know. What kind of "diet" were you on previously?

Diets that promote calorie restriction usually end up not working because your body goes into starvation mode and holds on to all the the fat you have because it thinks you are starving. A combination of low-carb/low-faD will make it think that it's still starving, even more so because the calories have to come from somewhere. And with low-carb, they come from fat.

Your calories per day while low-carbing should be 10-12 times your current bodyweight. Anything less generally = no weight loss.

When someone is new to the forum, we always recommend reading one of the many LC books available. Protein Power and Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution seem to be the most popular. Messing with your body without having any information is dangerous and disheartening. There are many people here who have messed up their metabolism by yo-yo and low-faD dieting. Don't become another "dieting" casualty. No one deserves that.

Most of us long termers and enlightened newcomers have accepted low-carbing as a way-of-eating and way-of-life. That is the way to permanent health, vitality and weight loss.
