HELP!!! confused on what things mean

[mizzie]

HI.
It might just be where i am british and dont understand the ingrediants.
What does it mean when a recipe says' 2 packets of different suge subsitutes'? What size pkts are they talking about? and whay is 'SELTZER'? I have got 'The new diet book' by Dr. Atkins which is supposed to be nice and easy.

HELP PLEASE Anne

Packets are the little single serving sizes of sweetener like you get in restaurants. Seltzer is soda water, spritzer water, carbonated water --something like Perrier Water.

If you go to the Atkins website and click on the British flag at the top of the screen it will take you to UK Atkins which has all the food lists and basic information in language you can understand! Check it out, it will also give you measurements that you can understand for the veggies etc instead of the "cups" in the book.
