Linda,
Welcome! I eat cottage cheese for breakfast every so often. It has lots of protein and is a great change from eggs. Don't get me wrong...I love eggs. But not EVERY day.

You sound like you're off to a great start! And you've read several low carb books, so that's great! I think it's great to continue to learn and KNOW why you're doing this.

Hope to see you around and post often. Have you started a journal here yet? Victoria

Oh, and by the way. You were born the same year as I was.
