south beach diet cookbook

I'm not following Atkins or South Beach or the Zone or anything, I'm just starting out on my own. My husband and I bought the "Everything Low Carb Diets Cookbook" this weekend and are just learning as we go. My husband lost over 60lbs on a Slim Fast diet a few years ago and has NOT gained all his back. I am a newlywed (of almost 5 months) and starting eating Low-Carb TODAY. I joined this club instead of any other because of all the amazing before and after photos I've seen here. I lost over 40lbs a few years back on Weight Watchers. I really hope joining you guys will be that extra motivation I will need and look forward to making some lo carb friends. I'm so inspired. I've also already drank two sports bottles of water. I've never tried Low Carb before and my husband and I are looking forward to finally seeing if this will be what does it for us. My name is Kim and I'm 24 years old. Once I gained it all back I never was able to lose it that way again. So far today I had three pieces of bacon and a slice of cheese for Breakfast, and a large salad with cheese and bacon and no carb dressing for lunch.
