Hi there.

Lee, it is useful to have a book to leaf through. Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution has sooo much useful information/ explanation /recipies etc that it is well worth having.

Alternatively if you enjoy being online just read up on LC sites. There is a lot of information - I would recommend the orange bar at the top - work your way through that.

I have an audio cassette version. I found that very useful to listen to and keep reminding myself of necessary points. You could even make little Reminder Cards for yourself and stick them in your Recipe box.

As Karen says LC is a way of life - a way of eating for life not just a few weeks or months.

Anyway I wish you both success in your endeavours.
Take Care.
