I officially started the diet today, as a Valentine's Day present to Hubby and ME! I know already that I'm going to have problems cutting carbs and sugar... would LOVE to try some new recipes... anyone else interested in a forum to share recipes and meal ideas?

hello there,

try this link http://forum.lowcarber.org/archive/index.php/t-90594.html

Its a few recipes by Michel Monignac . His whole diet and recipe books are available from Amazon. I believe he pre dated Atkins but I cannot swear to that. His recipes do not depend on any convenience foods which are often stuffed with additives and over processed.

Hi

I've just started the South Beach Diet which is pretty similar to Marrena's way of eating. There's a great forum which has loads of recipe ideas; here's the link:

This site is also very good:

Recipes are a good idea. . I have already seen much success with just 3 weeks. But i see myself eating the same things. I like to combine as many aphrodisiacs as possible, the other day i thought about spagehetti squash with basil pesto..YUM
