What do you do for crackers?

I make my own using almond flour, they taste a lot like wheat thins.

so I have decided to do it slowly. Like go lowcarb for breakfast and then lowcarb for lunch and so on and so forth until I get use to eating this way.

Try using
www.FitDay.com to track what you eat, it's free and O, so cool. , Restricting carbs for two meals and then eat a ton at one meal will cause your blood sugar to spike and drop and make you feel bad. Rather than do that, can I suggest that you cut your carbs to between 50-60, and spread them evenly through the day? Also, be sure that ALL the carbs you eat are good carbs. Veggies, eggs, cheese, etc., no sugar, flour, pasta, potatoes, etc. I think this will work much better for you, and you will lose weight.

I had a check up a few weeks ago and everything was ok, but my total cholesterol was high and my HDL or the bad stuff was high and Ive been watching fats, but I have heard people on lowcarb diets have their cholesterol drop drastically after this way of eating. Is this so?

Yes, it was in my case. I was not high when I started, but it's low now - my total is 140 and my triglycerides are 57. It may take longer than 3 months to show the difference though, particularly if you aren't following Atkins to the letter.

All I know, WW, eating lowfat and counting calories DOES not work for me, so lowcarbing might.
