I'm quite new to this low- carbing also. I have got my nephew onto it also and its fun having a buddy. I find help here with this forum the people are great and it gives us a boost along the way.

For sweets have you tried the Zero Carbs sugar free chocolate bars? I have a piece of this chocolate when I want something sweet.

I am from Australia and find it difficult to get the types of food that some of the people here talk about. Sugar free Jelly is also a good standby for something sweet. I always have that made up in the fridge.

Keep on trying its worth it at the end of the day.

Cheers.
Karen.
