Not NEW here ... really
 

I have been on the website for a long time. I have posted on different occasions. I have started on a low-carb diet and am looking for ideas and support :)

Also Lowering Carb Intake
 

I'm still new at it, but so far it's going great - this site has been a really big help. Are you participating in the accountability thread? People there are very friendly, helpful, really supportive and encouraging and it seems like there is a lot more activity there than elsewhere on the forums.

When I went low carb I had to increase my fat, so try to avoid low fat options because they usually have added sugar. The next time you go to the store check out something like lo fat ranch dressing vs regular ranch dressing. It may shock you the carb diff.
