From Laura Dolson, your Guide to Low Carb Diets
I'm actually away this week on the Low-Carb Cruise, but if you're reading this, you're probably not with us. :-( Even if you're not on the Caribbean, beach weather is on its way, which can be motivator for some to renew their pledges to low-carb eating. If you need to reboot, tune-up or start anew, here is some help. Also, a followup to a report in March about the ADA changing its stance on low-carb diets. Laura

No doubt about it; the first week is the hardest, as our bodies adjust to using fat for energy instead of relying on glucose from carbohydrates (this process is called "keto-adaptation"). Here's how to get through it comfortably.

Diabetics Talk About the "ADA Diet"
In March, I wrote about signs that the American Diabetes Association is beginning to more openly support following a low-carb way of eating for blood glucose control.

From Robin Elise Weiss, LCCE, your Guide to Pregnancy
If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. That's my motto when it comes to pregnancy announcements. Apparently I am alone on that one.

Sometimes letting go of one viewpoint and adopting another one can help you feel less stressed without changing a thing! Learn about reframing your cognitive distortions and reducing stress as a result.
