Hello Lady. Well I too have just started (yesterday), and have just quit eating what I know to be carbs, potatos, rice, bread, pasta and have also quit pop, which was not a big one for me. Still drink tea. Anyway, based upon what I have seen on the forum so far, I guess I need to buy one of the books just to understand the phases and language of this diet. Anyway, at least the forum does let you know that other are working towards a common goal. I look forward to you inspiration. Best of luck.

Maurice
