Hi all, Im 34 yrs old and live in Liverpool UK

I have to admit to being a total newcomer to Low carb eating , I have ordered I think most of the books I could find online regarding Low carb
I just wanted to say that I plan to visit this site often and hope that I will learn more each time.

I have tried low fat diets and have had no success whatsoever , I would say that I am prob a Carb addict (eeek did i just admit to that ? )
So I know its not going to be easy but Im sure going to try
thanx for reading the post this is a cool site!!!

Get some reading material on low carbing and read girl, you will get it and understand....one must take the time to learn this woe.

Good luck, Wendy

welcome jo and twilite. jo, you've got the right idea. read all you can. twilite, that's what you should do too. try "dr. atkins new diet revolution" or dr. eades "protein power plan". if you don't want to buy them, check them out at the library. it's really best to read up on this woe, so that you really understand it. also, get a good carb counter. i use corrine netzer's complete book of food counts.
visit this board often. you'll find really great support here. i look forward to hearing more from both of you.

Smile Welcome...

Joanne and Twilite!
I am a re-convert to low carb and am so glad I did.I'm starting to feel better again .Can't believe how 3 days back on track made me feel!! I'm a true bread and sugar addict so I need to stay way from both!
Good luck on which ever plan you choose{I'm doing the Protein Power Life Plan}.Trick is to read all you can about low carb!!

Carol from Kamloops
