I am ready to start a low-carb diet and need to know where to look on the
web for info. I know very little about this diet, but I am ready to commit.
I understand that there is a 2 week induction period, but I don't know the
do's and don'ts. Is there a good web site that provides ...

Hola,
I just want to say that a lot of good things are
happening and love is in the air...
Almost 30 pounds down (28 to be exact), during the Holidays

I've read the book and I've been successful on the WOL several years ago.  I
kept 48 lbs. off until I got pregnant with my son.  The last time I started
Atkins, the first week my weight, number wise, went down significantly.
This time, I'm not seeing any results my first week.  I'm ...

Help!  I have a sever rash all over my legs, thighs, and the back of my
knees.  It is incredibly itchy.  I was reading through my atkins book and it

say I'm not Popeye.

This WOL/WOE definitely seems harder the 2nd/3rd/4th time then it did
the first.  I'm not sure if it's because I've cheated in the past so

Is there any proof that it's actually harder after you gain back all

I just had the l/c $6 burger w/o tomatoes ...
I ordered the "combo meal" with a salad and diet coke (I thought it was funny

Hello fellow lo-carbers!
A belated wish for a terrific new year! I have not been here for
awhile due to a death in my family. My older brother was visiting me
at Christmas, and unexpectedly passed away of a heart attack in our

Does anyone here eat ZonePerfect bars?  Is it possible to live of them, even
just for a few days? Are they endorsed by Barry Sears? I ate one today and
it tasted great, but I can't find Barry Sears's name anywhere on it. Are
they to good to be true? - Also, do they leave you craving ...

Has anyone considered taking these along with doing the diet?  I haven't
yet, but I was wondering if it might help the initial cravings.
I noticed that I was eating acceptible things, even though I wasn't
hungry, because I think I was trying to satisfy my carb crave.

If I make up a bunch of salad with all of the acceptable "salad
veggies" - lettuce, cucumber, bell pepper etc., and then just scoop
out my daily 3 cups...how many carbs should I be counting?  I don't
