New to Low Carb any advice would be Great

3john2011

New to Low Carb leaning how to eat again. I have found a few Go to Items Low Carb soft taco wraps. I have also been mixing white beans with green beans or peas. Omelettes and Yogurt.

I'm not sure what kind of Yogurt I should be buying. I do not like the plain yogurt.

I have not yet figure out how to eat at a fast food Restaurant other than a salad. Will they normally just sell you a couple of Hamburger patties or not?

I have to also watch the amount of sugar I eat so the chocolate covered protein bars are not an option.

Is there a Good book on Low Carb diet I could read to help keep me motivated.

They do. In fact, this visual and the ones that go with it help beginners a bit.

It is an announcement, so you should be able to view it, just not post anything without being a member. Yea, I am a member and so is Sabine_Stroehm.

Also the tip to check out the Atkins foodie meal plan is a good one (there are others there for non-cooks), it got me started on LCHF quick and easy.

It's a great group if you're thinking of trying low carb.

I will encourage you to really do your research. Know what sort of low carb dieter you'll be, and know how to nourish your body with that approach.

I still get the "Permission Error" standard page that MFP puts up when I'm not allowed in...is the group set to "Private"? That will cause that to happen. I can see other groups' pages that I'm not a member in...maybe post the link to the group's "join" page.

It is a private group, so just say why you wanna join and someone will approve you. Its a really great group!!

Thanks everyone I do not have a daily carb Goal yet. I did not know I needed one. I will do more research.
