Low Carb Ladybug Newsletter July 2012 About Me   Welcome to the first edition of the Low Carb Ladybug Newsletter.  I have been following a low carb lifestyle for the past five years, which has improved my health and helped me to lose over 175 pounds.  Recently I attended the 5th Annual Low Carb Cruise and caught the "bug" to spread the word.  My hope is to motivate and encourage others through my experiences.  Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, just click the email link at the bottom of the page and let me know what you think.  Thank you for subscribing!  —Susan aka The Low Carb Ladybug  Low Carb 101-Where do I start?   There are many versions of a low carb diet, most start off the same way with an induction period where carbohydrates are more restricted.  The next phase you gradually increase your carbohydrates until you find the level where you can continue to lose or maintain your weight.  Atkins is a great plan to use and there is so much information available online.  Here are some links explaining Atkins and the induction process.   Objectives of Induction   How to do Induction Right   What you can eat in Phase One   Getting Started   Getting Started Part 2   The First Week   Low Carb Mistakes  The Atkins Food Pyramid Low-Carb Summer Holiday Menus Low Carb Cruise 2013   This past May I was fortunate enough to attend the 5th Annual Low Carb Cuise on the Carnival Magic.  I recommend to anyone who follows a Low Carb or Primal/Paleo lifestyle join us on the 2013 cruise.    Here is a list of the tentative speakers.
