Hello everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself and see if anyone had any tips for a newbie on a LC diet.

Hi Bri-Guy and welcome,

The best advice I can give at the moment is to look around this site and get as much information and feedback as you can, drink lots of water and stick with what it says in the book.

If you just click in to one or two messages you'll find a whole load of information and you'll learn new things daily.


Happy browsing,

Bez

welcome aboard bri-guy! bez and raven have both given you great advice! all i'll add is get a hold of a good carb counter! i recommend corinne netzer's the complete book of food counts, 5th edition! i refer to it all the time. also check out www.fitday.com. it's a free site to record what you eat and your exercise as well! did i mention it's FREE!!!

Hi Bri-guy (love that name)

Like they all said, just do what it says in the book and keep drinking water. It works.

Make your food interesting, you have an abundance of fabulous ingredients available to you. Last night for dinner I have a huge steak with pepper cream sauce, fine green beans and a couple of large mushrooms topped with cheddar cheese and a drizzle of pesto. All this followed by sugar free rasberry jelly (jello) and cream I could have licked the plate.

So go for it bri-guy this will be the easiest diet you every did.
