It was the very first thread on that post, so it will be right at the very bottom of all the pages.It's the diet I use, based on the Atkins diet, and gives you no more than 25 grams of carb per day if you follow it exactly. You can eat as much as you like of the foods listed unless it says otherwise.The only warning is - it contains quite a lot of fat, and not everyone can tolerate that much. But it will not harm your cholesterol levels at all, so don't worry about that. Your blood pressure will improve, too, and you'll lose weight if you need to. If you don't, add more carbs.You may anyway find you want to eat more carbs than the 25g the diet allows you. That's easy, just add in more 'good' carbs (eg low glycaemic index), testing all the time to see what they do to you.Whether you follow it or not, it will give you some idea of what a low-carb diet involves, and many of the foods you can eat. The good thing about it is that you don't need to count anything, unless you add in extra carbs. Don't worry about calories either!Any questions, just ask!Viv</blockquote>
