Induction day 48…
July 21, 2008 at 7:51 pm (Induction) (Atkins, diet, menu)
Just a quick note to clarify that when I list my carb counts in this blog, they are always the total carbs minus any fiber carbs. So for example, frozen green beans say on the package that 2/3 cup is 5 carbs. It also lists that there is 2 grams of fiber per serving, ie 2/3 cup. So when doing Atkins, you take the total carbs, minus the fiber carbs which would leave 2/3 cup green beans at around 3 carbs. Make sense? Hope so because having only 20 grams of total carbs for the day would suck but being able to minus those fiber carbs really allows more wiggle room
