I think you might want to try posting in the carb counting forum for info on that way of eating. I'm a calorie counter myself, and though I don't actually count carbs, I do avoid starchy foods as I find that helps my weight loss.

Good luck with your goals!

Hey sugarpuff,

Yes, check out the low carb forums on this site. Since you bought ketostix, it sounds like you are serious about going into ketosis.

I am not low carb, but I avoid sugar, bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, starchy vegetables. Basically, I get most of my carbs from vegetables and skim milk. It's not a low carb plan, per se, but it has worked wonders for me.

Good luck in your journey.
