Getting started on low carb is probably easier than you think it will be.
Sometimes, people think they have to do everything perfectly for low carb to work. That’s not true at all! I’ve often found waiting for “just the right time,” excessive preparation and insisting on following a plan to perfection is procrastination in a pretty dress.
