Also keep in mind that the best time to prevent osteoporosis in elderly women is before they turn 13 years oldm by assuring a really adequate calcium intake, which the low carb diet tends to be low in; so dairy is a great choice, too.

Keep an eye on weight and height growth, the simplest indicator of adequate nutrition in kids.

This takes planning; my artichoke condite is one of my secrets in the low carb anti-boredom, lower cholesterol battle.

I cut my carbs way back and hate eating veggies and fruits. i am trying to like them more tho. Is canned fruit and veggies close to fresh ones for a low carb diet. sometimes i can't afford fresh ones for all of us. on this diet my freind and i started i have lost 13 lbs. and noticed that my back doesn't hurt as much as it once did. i thought that was the neatest thing.

Yes, eat canned if you don't have fresh. You need the fiber and vitamins. The veggies have almost no carbs, the fruits have some to many. Don't eat the sugar syrup.

With chicken, odor usually indicates bacterial contamination. When buying chicken, avoid packages and bags that have any swelling; take straight home, or buy a dollar bag of ice and put it in a cooler; chill immediately at home. It is not a bad idea to open, rinse and transfer to clean bags or plates before covering and refrigerating, this cuts down on bacterial contamination. Always thaw in the refrigerator.
If you wash the chicken and it smells bad, don't eat it.
