May this turn out to be a false alarm, Glenda!

Also, a note for any newbies: a plan is only a start. A plan is a direction, not a rulebook. It's a great way to consider a new direction, individual tweaking might be required.

I've seen people with the misconception that every plan will work if a person follows the rules. Then they pick a plan with rules they like

That plan is not likely to work with anyone. If we are following a plan's rules, and it's not working, don't be afraid to experiment with one of the rules to see if that makes a difference.

Keeping the carb count low is always good. But maybe not enough for the goal we want to reach.
