What advice would u give a person who wants to do a low-carb diet? I would appreciate any advice. :D

A few things:

* Know what you're doing before you do it. That means lots and lots of research. And this does not apply to just low carb - this applies to any lifestyle change you want to make.

* Read the FAQ at in the 'stickies' at the top of our little Atkins forum. There's a lot of really important stuff in there.

* If you can't commit to a lifelong change (this means food AND exercise) don't expect to be successful.

Really, when it comes down to it, all 'diets' are the same. If you go on them, you'll probably lose weight. If you go off them, you'll gain. The trick is to re-learn your eating habits and change your attitudes about food and exercise and life in general sometimes. Eat healthy, whole food. Move. That's really the crux of it. It's what it takes to get there that you have to figure out and that's really a personal thing.

It takes a little bit of getting used to, but once you do, you'll love it!!!

Read the book and be careful of packaged foods and foods that claim to be LC, approach them with caution.

But the best thing I can say is ENJOY!!!
