Fruit
If you want to learn about low-carb diets (e.g. the Atkins Diet, Protein Power Diet, South Beach Diet, or other low carb plans), this is a great place to start. The most important tip we can give you is this: no one diet works for every "body." In fact, we've come to believe that no one diet works for any one "body" at every stage of life. You'll fine-tune your eating plan as you learn what works for you and what doesn't. We want to help.
The route to success with low carb dieting (or any weightloss program) is to understand that you are making permanent lifestyle changes—not simply going through the motions "until you lose the weight." So stop thinking "diet" and start finding your Low Carb Zen, baby!

The approach of summer brings with it the availability of many wonderful seasonal varieties of fruit. Even if you’re a low carb dieter, you shouldn’t pass up the bounty of the season. Once you’re past “induction”, as long as you know the carb count of various seasonal fruits and are clear on what the portion size is for each you can most likely indulge in the sweet goodness summer has to offer and get lots of nutritional bang for your buck, too!
