Can't believe its almost been 2 years since moving here. I hope to be coming here more often now as I most definitely need the help and support of all the great people here. How are the pooches?

Welcome northern gal!! join us in the daily for a hi to all. Just jump in and grab a cup of coffee!!!

Do you ladies count the "Fat Flush" diet as low carb? I'm going to be giving it a try....

Fat Flush is definitely low carb. I tried it but found it too stringent. Did you buy the book? If not, I can lend you mine.

Thank you Nasus40....sorry took so long to respond.

Thanks for the kind offer Ruth, but I just came back from the bookstore to pick up a copy! I figure if it's just not right for me, I can always sell the book on eBay

Hi Ruth,
Today I was finally able to register.
I started a low carb eating ( not going to call it a diet) program. I am following the Curves plan.. It is not as strick on the induction ..
What I need to know from someone is. If I stick to 20 carbs a day is that ok?
I am so confused... There are things on the curves plan I can't eat because of food allergies so I am trying to follow as close as possible. The other thing is that this method is soo not the way I have tried before.. but then again I am and have not been successful before. I am very hopeful and need all the info I can get.
Thank you

Welcome Judy,
Where in BC are you?
Low carb was not the way I ate either but it definatly works.Yopu just need to get organized and the most helpful thing I find is making sure I have things on hand , so Im not panicing about what to eat .

Welcome Judy,
You have to do what's right for you. I can't eat less than 30 carbs or I get sick (kinda like having the flu) but low carb is the way to go. I went off for a week and believe me I wont do that again. I felt like s*** and was so listless I couldn't get out of my own way. But the secret to staying on is planning. I plan my breakfast and lunch for the entire week they are my two problem areas. I can't eat before I leave for work and it's not like you can cook bacon and eggs in the office. And packing a lunch makes it easier to avoid pizza day and going out to McDonalds.
I weigh in tomorrow so wish me luck
