I use an app called 'Carb Diet' - i love it, similar to fitness pal.
Can I just add one thing about point 6:- You don't store water in your liver, the liver is an organ that has a capsule and any fluid in here would be extremely painful (this can happen in pregnancy induced hypertension ie Pre-eclampsia). Where there is carb molecules you will have a water molecule sticking to it and the tissues of the body become boggy with excess fluid such as lower legs (socks making ring marks, shoes getting tight, band on skirts/pants digging in) this is bloating from fluid sticking to carbs and trapped in the cells/tissues. Once you drop the carbs then there is no carb molecule for water to stick to - resulting in a massive diuresis and the fluid gets shipped off to the kidneys to pee out - giving a huge wgt loss in the first week, ending the bloatedness! I love not being bloated anymore. Sorry, just had to make that clear or we'd all have huge livers.
