FAQ: A Beginner's Guide to Low Carb Living

Did you know that the answer to many of your questions about
the Low Carb Diet can be found on the F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked
Questions) page for the alt.support.diet.low-carb newsgroup?
Try following the link below or the backup site that appears
below it:

http://www.grossweb.com/asdlc/faq.htm (Who's computer is this?)
http://home.comcast.net/~agross/asdlc/ (Who's computer is this?)

There is a mailing list for people to receive email when the
FAQ has been updated. Aaron and Rudy have put a great amount
of time and expense into compiling and maintaining this site.
All affiliate commissions (except for Amazon.com) are donated
to a local Los Angeles charity. The Amazon.com commissions
are Aaron's sole "reward" to offset some of his costs in
time and materials. Please show your appreciation by using
his site to order your books and materials.

Did you read the FAQ but just don't remember if something
was covered? MOST questions can be answered in the FAQ without
having to read the whole FAQ. Just stick a pound sign # and the
term in question after the FAQ's URL and you will go directly
to the section of the FAQ you want. For example:

http://www.grossweb.com/asdlc/faq.htm#numbers (Who's computer is this?)
will answer your question about the numbers (##/##/##)
http://www.grossweb.com/asdlc/faq.htm#woe (Who's computer is this?)
will answer your question about what WOE means

This will also work with the alternate site.

If that does not answer your questions fully, why not try
the Google Groups Search Engine? You can search all news groups
for past discussions on topics about low carb. You can find the
Google Groups Search Engine at:

http://groups.google.com/ (Who's computer is this?)

Alternatively, do a Google advanced search

http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search (Who's computer is this?)

Or, use the form appearing in the left margin menu of each page
on the FAQ site.

While it is highly recommended that all newbies read the
aforementioned official ASDLC F.A.Q. before posting, the
preceding sites are meant to be an adjunct and can be browsed
at your leisure. We hope that you will find them helpful in
your weight loss endeavor.

If you are newbie to the net, you may want to read about online
etiquette.
