    Well, if you are trying to lose more than 20 pounds, you would start at 20 net grams a day. Net grams are total carbs. minus fiber, and sugar alcohol (if it's in whatever you're eating- mostly you'll find it in sugar free products). If you are trying to lose under 20 pounds, you can start out higher, like 30 grams a day. The best resource for low-carb diet info though, would be the Atkins website. It has instructions/recommendations for living a low-carb lifestyle. And it's free :happy: . Even if you don't necessarily want to "do" Atkins, the site still has a ton of great info & yummy recipes.

    You can also sign up on the Atkins site and they will send you a few samples of their bars, a quick start guide, a menu guide, and a handy little pocket carb count guide. I keep that sucker with me everywhere I go - it is VERY helpful! Check out their website and the plan - LOTS of great info there!
