In an attempt to organize the many resources available to Low Carbers of all "stripes" we have created "The Launch Pad" which will be continuously updated, added to, edited, and changed in an effort to provide as many "one click" links to ALL of the pertinent information currently available in the many facets of all things LC.

Since MFP does not provide a functional "search" feature for the Groups, we believe this is the "next best" alternative.

The Low Carber Daily Launch Pad (LCDLP) is structured as an "outline" with various sub-headings, each devoted to an individual "topic".

There is a considerable "overlap" in the various versions of Low Carb programs - indeed even within many (most?) of the plans there exists significant differences of "opinion" as to what is the "right" way (or "right" foods, macro levels, feeding schedules, approach to calorie restriction, exercise protocols, etc, etc).

Our aim is to provide links to ALL of the information and as many of the various points of view as possible, without judgement or personal opinion, leaving the decisions regarding what is "best" for you - to YOU.

Information is power and we believe our charge is to provide easy access to as much of the information that matters to YOU, as possible. "Opinions", "advice", "support", and "suggestions" are always available in the Group itself in both "back" threads (which are a treasure trove of information), or, if it's a topic (or question) you can't find there, feel free to open a new thread and you will receive a timely reply(s) and likely various opinions.

The Top Guns

Dr. Peter Attia

1. vimeo.com/45485034
   Dr. Attia gives a great talk on the history of the "low-fat" indoctrination and how it's entirely politically motivated and how the science has actually been quite clear about the relationship between dietary fat and heart disease risk (ie - the scientific community has been pretty clear that there is no link).

Recommended Books - The Science

1. Request for Submissions - Books - books only please
   
2. "Art and Science of Low Carb" - Phinney and Volek
   Arguably the most comprehensive book on the LCHF lifestyle ever written. Lots of "science" but presented in a "understandable" way - a "must read".
3. "Good Calories, Bad Calories" - Gary Taubes
   This is similar in content to Why We Get Fat, but much more detailed. This is a harder read, but may be worth it for many people.

Setting up MFP for "Net Carb" Display - Details

1. Overview
   CavemanKeto Website
   Overview of the process to install the scripts required to have MFP Food Diary calculate and display "net" carbs
   You need to load the Tampermonkey (Chrome) or Greasemonkey (Firefox) extension in order to use the scripts. Once you have it installed, if you click on the .JS files in the following links, the extension should pick them up and ask if you want to install them. Then, make sure your diary includes both carbs and fibre, and the one script will calculate net carbs and give you the fun little graph. The other script will allow you more control over adjusting your macro goals in the settings page.
   Links to the individual scripts are provided below
