Cool New Again

I am just starting tomorrow. I once thought I would give this a try, but never followed through. I know I will do it this time. Any advice.

Welcome, Cool Mom, glad you found us.
My advise is to measure yourself as we have times when the pounds seem to stick but the inches go.
Read every label on everything you eat just to make sure it doesn't have carbs by the ton,
Eat your veggies
Use www.fitday.com
and if you have any questions, Ask

Get a journal. Throw away all the crap in the fridge and cupboards.(if you can , I have kids and they love their cookies and whatnots)
The first 2-4 days are kind of tough, but if you are committed you will succeed.
After the first 48 hours I was in ketosis. I bought the pee strips and they keep me motivated. I love the color purple! LOL!
You have lots of support here!
I wish you the best. Good luck.
Lisa

The best advise I can give you is to buy the book and read it over and over and over again to help you understand the diet and ensure your success.
