I buy bars called Balance Bar Carb Well ... the nutrition facts are: Total Carbohydrates= 22 Dietary Fiber = 1 Sugar Alcohols = 19 Total Carb 22 -dietary fiber 1 -sugar alcohol 19 _______________ 2 net carbs... 2 is the amount of "net" carbs... the carbs that actually count. Mine too says it on the front of the bar, if you'll just look at that, you won't have to do the math. * These Fiber Carbohydrates are calorie free, Sugar Alcohols have little effect on blood sugar therefore, you can subtract them from the impact carbs. Diets are like a jar of jalapenos.... the choices you make today might just burn your butt tomorrow!!!

weigh in

Good luck! I weigh in every day which has to stop. It is too easy to get caught up in the excitement of seeing the scale drop so much in a week-that is because of water weight I am sure.

Need suggestions on healthy/low-calorie foods.

You can use shakes for a few days. I have used the Atkins shakes and they are very good tasting. Soups are good though as stated above you may have to puree them. You could puree or blend cottage cheese ...

Member Tip

by member cpmodem Even though fat doesn't count in Atkins, it can cause you to gain or not lose weight if you consume too much. Be careful of over eating this nutrient. ie: cream, cream cheese. 28 Apr 13 for diet Atkins
