hidden carbs in mayo?

[glizarro]

I am starting Atkins again today. I went shopping yesterday, yes on Thanksgiving, and was trying to get my menu together. While shopping, I was very careful to read carb and sugar contents on the labels. To my surprise, I noticed that mayo, salad dressing and other induction friendly condiments contained sugar! How can this be? Are there special condiments that we are suppose to use? I want to try and do this program the right way. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks!

Re: hidden carbs in mayo?

check your DANDR Dr Atkins makes an exception for the sugar in saladdressing and says if it has less then 2 carbs for 2T (which is a serving).

if you have DUkes mayo it is sugar free only one out there. you can use just about any full fat mayo with out any issues just make sure you count your carbs from the stuff in your daily limit of 20 net.


Not sure what your other induction friendly condiments would be with sugar.

I think I need to get a new version of the Atkins book. The one I have I bought at a yard sale and it seems it may have some outdated material. Thanks for the response. I feel a little better now.

Glizarro, which edtion of DANDR do you have? Look out for the 2002 version as thats the one we all go by.

Hi Rich, the name of the book is Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution copyright 1992. I will have to go and purchase the newer updated version.
