Jen, the best way to be successful at low carbing is to arm yourself with knowledge. You've come to the right place! Read everything you can get your hands on, including the book. It sounds like you're on Atkins - have you read his New Diet Revolution? Protein Power, by the Eadses, is a good complementary volume to Atkins - the two plans are quite similar. We're here to answer questions, but even this forum can't put everything into the same kind of total perspective that the books can.
