hi silvia. this is amazing, being able to talk to someone in italy. i'm still relatively new to computers. you've done the right thing by buying the books. my heritage is irish/italian. i was raised on pasta and potatoes. i understand how you feel. i've been lowcarbing about almost 2 years now and i don't miss my old carbs at all. we used to eat pasta almost daily. it will get easier for you too. although not being able to eat beef would be hard for me. oh well there's always chicken! good luck lowcarbing. you've made the right choice.
