Welcome! Like all the Guides at About.com, I'm a real person, and I invite your participation here.
The best way to ask questions and get involved is through our Forum. I check the Forum regularly and so do other knowledgeable folks who can help answer questions and engage in discussions.
Please understand that this site is for educational purposes only. I won't be able to give individualized diet advice or medical advice. I am not a doctor, and even if I was I could not give advice over the Net.

F.A.Q.
- Q. How do I get started learning about low carb diets?
- A. First, check out the links in Essentials, at the top of the column on the left hand side of all pages on the site. Then, start working your way down through Articles and Resources - I've structured the site so that this method will get you the basic information first.
- Q. But which diet do YOU think is the best?
- A. I truly don't think there is any one diet that is best for everyone. In fact, I think that the days of "one size fits all" diets are OVER. More research is beginning to give us clues as to how to tailor diets to the individual - the next few years should be exciting in that regard. What I can do is keep finding the latest information along those lines and informing you. Until we know more, we can share the results of our "experiments" with each other.
- Q. How should I get started?
- A. You should see your health care provider for a checkup, hopefully including standard lab work. This will create a baseline before you change your diet and/or exercise, and followup tests can help you to tailor your efforts.
- Q. How can I email you?
- A. My address is lowcarbdiets.guide@about.com.
