Just continue on. Chalk it up to a lesson learned..read the ingredients/nutrition BEFORE you eat it.

You don't have to "start over" or anything like that, just keep going.

so confused, did I just royally mess up? Would like to know so I can pick myself back up and start again, thanks for your time. Lindsey.

WTH vanilla extract has carbs? I NEVER EVER would have thought that.

Re: Crap!! help?

Yes, Different varieties/brands of vanilla extract has sugar. As with anything else, you have to read the labels.

Re: Crap!! help?

You also have to check how many carbs splenda has. Sometimes it says only 2 carbs but how many 2 carbs worth are you putting in it?

Re: Crap!! help?

Sometimes things can surprise us. I did Atkins for several weeks before realising that tea and coffee have carbs! What a shock! Good thing I was never a coffee or tea addict, so had only had a "normal" amount daily.
