Greetings and welcome to the forum.

Definitely explore the various plans and learn as much as you can. Pick one that you think you can stick with for at least a couple of months REGARDLESS of whether you lose, stay the same or gain in order to fairly evaluate it.

Once you have chosen a plan - follow it to the letter. The various plans have a lot in common but they also have a lot of differences. As a whole, each plan is know to work for most people. But they were developed to be used as a whole. Not half of this plan and half of that plan. Do not mix and match - at least not yet. Once you have adjusted to an LC WOL and have learned a lot about how you body responds to different things, you can begin customizing your plan to suit your body and your lifestyle.
