Good Morning and hello from MN. I just began seriously watching my carb intake, mainly due to diabetes and my weight. I have an issue with swelling in my legs and feet and wear compression stockings to alleviate the swelling, but low carb intake helps considerably. I would love to meet some others with similar concerns and would love recipes/suggestions for tasty meals and treats. I am widowed, live alone and struggle in cooking for one with "common ingredients". Looking forward to meeting others to help me be successful. :wave: :help:

Looking around the forum, would someone tell me about CAD and CALP. Are these books and if so where can I purchase? Thanks!

Hi Gail, welcome. There's a huge selection of recipes here in the Kitchen/Recipes section. I enjoy browsing them and have made yummy recipes from here over the years.

CAD & CALP are both books. I recently saw them on Amazon for a good price. Not sure if you can find Ebooks for those.

Good luck w/ your new way of eating. I love the way low carb makes me feel!

Keep foods simple to start, plates of prepared foods will do.
