Welcome!!!

Sometimes starting with a defined program can help you get started and learn this new way of eating. OVer time you will find other resources, close to home, that are cheaper or more to your liking now that you know where to buy them and WHAT to buy.

I have an aunt that needs everything spelled out or she cannot diet.

WHat I like about Atkins, and other LCHF diets, is that I can selet the foods that fit me, my preferences, my markets, Me. I worked from the Atkins list of foods origially. ANd his rules about no breaddings, no hidden sugars etc.

Lots of support here to find foods and ingredients, when you are ready. Do what works for you. Do what gets you in the game.
