Hi there Suomichick, welcome!

Of course you can do it! It will help if you rid your house of the unnecessary carbs. When I started my sister was the recipient of several cartons of "carbage."

It may help if you plan your meals ahead of time. For instance, if you know you are going to have a delicious salad with Caesar dressing with your lunchtime chicken (or whatever), it may help you avoid falling into the carb trap.

Have a look around the rest of the site here, Suomi. You can start with Low Carb Tips on the orange bar at the top of the screen. I found that one very helpful. Also, if you go to Newbies' Questions (go to "forum jump" at the bottom of your screen and scroll down), go to "Hot Links" for loads of useful info.

All the best to you, my dear!
