Welcome to the FTS family, Kori!!!
It's a good idea to keep it simple when starting out with any new lifestyle, including FTS.
Stick with basics like meat, fish, chicken, eggs, cheeses, nuts, seeds, etc..
Drink LOTS and LOTS of plain water to flush toxins and help your progress.
And getting plenty sleep each night is also important to keep you moving along.
As time goes by, you'll become a pro a reading nutrition labels and spotting what to avoid.
When reading these labels, first look at carb content. Then look at the ingredients list.
If any of the first 3 ingredients is known to be high in carbs, be VERY careful!
Some of these products are just fine. While others will mess up your progress.
And use good portion control.
Eating more food than your body needs will cause slow downs and/or weight gains.
Let your body tell you what is OK and what is not by recording EVERYTHING and how much you eat.
If you notice a slow down, look at what (and how much) you've been eating and make adjustments.
As time goes, this all will become second nature to you.
You will find our little family to be the most supportive folks you'll find anywhere!
Please stay involved in our conversations.
This too, will help you get to your desired goal!
Tony
