all the reciepies. I would also like to know if you can substitute
one thing for another as long as its low carb. Will some one please
help me get started!!!! I am completely in the dark.
Thank you so much for any help you can give me

I started induction 5 days ago losing well and doing will on the
diet. I’m in need of menus that are cheap that i can prepare in my
kitchen. The ones in the book are getting old and i can’t afford to
purchase the food on the sites. If anyone could offer me some menus
for induction this would help me greatly.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I have been reading the New Diet Revolution book and am in the beginning
stages of starting the diet. I have a question about milk though. I don’t
think I can go without it. I drink milk ’several’ times a day!! I go through
a gallon at least every two days, by myself. Do you always have to stay away
from milk or just the first two weeks?
I know I can break away from the other no-no’s on the list. It’s just this
one thing I am particularly concerned about.
And why no diet pop?? It doesn’t have any carbs.
thanks in advance,

Hi all,
I began last Sunday at 242 lbs. And this morn, I was 236! I have been
very strict. I tried and failed many times over many years, but at my
heaviest, and with hypertension and chest pains, and feeling bad with
heartburn and bloat, I got back on with a do or die attitude. Also I
believe the reasons I failed before, was I always made allowances and
too a day off. This just kept me from making any progress and soon
I’d be off it completely. So no cheating at all for me, no days off,
nothing. I am a fanatic now. I can’t play. I am a carb addict. I must
abstain completely from the forbidden foods, of I will blow it all.
Also my blood pressure went from 156/95 to 135/86 in the week. My
goal is 175 lbs. I am male.

Hi, I am new to this group and to the diet. And already I feel like a
failure. It is not helping that I am depressed. I am cheating on
carbs. I went grocery shopping for my new diet on the 15th. and came
home with *three* (albeit small) boxes of chocolate candy, a total of I
think 21 or 24 pieces. They have all been consumed, in spite of my
resolve to eat only one a day. I know, they are not allowed. Neither is fruit, and I brought home LOTS of it. And yogurt, too.
I thought I would like this diet because I am a big meat lover. I may
end up a meat hater.
Help!! I need help!
Maybe this diet is not for me?

I’ve been doing the low carb thing for about a month and I am happy
with the weight loss, but I have noticed that my sex drive has gone
down quite a bit. Has anyone else noticed this? Especially other
men.
