You are willing to do ANYTHING? Absolutely ANYTHING? Are you willing to study?

FWIW, that's the punchline to one of my Cheesy Engineers' Jokes.

But, all kidding aside, I'm serious. The most important thing you need to do to ensure success is to learn what low carbing is all about. This is particularly important for you if you are frequently eating out having to make good choices from a limit number of selections.

You need to understand the principles behind why and how low-carb lifestyles work. What the whole story is behind insulin, why you want to control it and how diet allows you to control it. You need to learn what types of foods do what and why. You need to learn how to listen and learn from your own body about its particular responses to a variety of foods. Those are the "nuts and bolts" and you do not learn the nuts and bolts of anything by skimming. Skimming can give you the big picture and a slight feel for how big and how many bolts there are. But you don't know anything about those nuts and bolts until you study.

Good Luck!
