Sonja, this is a message boared not a chat room. People aren't always on is why your question wasn't answered right away.

The first thing you should do is decide on a plan as each plan has different eating requirments. Click the link at the side "Which Low-carb Plan is Right for Me?" Different plans work for different people. You may need to read through a few books to decide which one is something that is workable for you. Once you decide on a plan, buy the book. Web sites and checking out books form the library can help yu decide on a plan, but once you pick one you need to have the book to refer back to frequently.

Then just choose a day to start, and get to it Many say to start on a saturday not a monday because Monday's are hard enough with work and so on to start a whole new way of eating. Once you choose a plan, find the subforum for that plan here on the boards for questions specific to that plan.
