atkins-im confused

ok I do atkins at least every few months well I always stick to the basics and have great results ex. eggs , meat cheese and salad I dont eat much else.......so i just went on the Atkins site and they have a sample menu of what u can eat the first 2 weeks (induction phase) and there is all this other stuff from the Atkins food line like "chocolate bars etc...) so my question is how dose the package say its 2 grms carbs then u read the back and its way over that? im so confused I know u are supposed to take the carbs minus the fiber and that is the net carbs....well its not right IM CONFUSED!

Re: atkins-im confused

that is weird . . . I don't get it either . . .

Re: atkins-im confused

it's net carbs ( the smaller number)

some kind of match formula with the protein I think?????

google it

Re: atkins-im confused

i know you also don't count sugar alcohols... but it still doesn't add up...

Re: atkins-im confused

You don't count fiber or sugar alcohols

Re: atkins-im confused

They claim the other "carbs" are insoluable and therefore no effect on your blood sugar. I would avoid them -- who knows what it is and what it does to you.

I would count sugar alcohols if they are significant I think I read somewhere that for some people, your blood sugar levels are effected. I try to stay away from them if possible except for maybe a piece of sugarless gum or something.

Carbs
- Fiber
-Sugar Alcohol
_______________

Total Net Carbs

Re: atkins-im confused

All those bars are just processed gack!

The whole net carb thing is just a way for these big companies to make money off of you.

just stick to real food with all natural ingredients as much as possible.
