When I first got started many years ago I printed out a handy list of foods that were allowed in the first step of any low carb diet- this step helps you get into and remain in ketosis (burning fat instead of sugar).
While the list below isn't the same, I find it to be very comparable to the one I had and a quick check of the website it is linked to, StartLowCarb, is very helpful too.
The only modification I would make on this list is to stay away from margarine, it is man-made and not nearly as good for you as butter. As for alcohol, I would limit it to 2 drinks per day if you are trying to lose weight.
Yes, butter is good for you. Just because a food is high in dietary cholesterol does not mean that it is going to raise your cholesterol.
