    Help please! Net carbs- truth vs. fiction

    Hello all,
    My wife is doing the Atkins Diet right now. I went to the store today to get her some low carb goodies and the Atkins bars say they are only 2 or 3 net carbs. However when you read the label and do the "atkins Converstion" it comes out to 15 carbs! What gives?

    I love how supportive you sound of your wife! The bars looked a little fishy to me as well. Find out what step she is on and make her something yummy that is atkins friendly, but you need to know if she is on induction or what rung she's on... I hot supper bored the other day and gave myself a treat by making old fashioned chili rellenos. I got the recipe off about.com and the batter was just egg whites. I am sure there are lots of yummy stuff that aren't fake junk food.

    BTW: The bars and other atkins junk food are not allowed for induction.

      You should do a search on that topic on this board. There's a lot of controversy about them. Not so much over the net carb count, but the ingredients, and they stall some folks.

        They are junk, just my opinion.

        What I know:
        1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
        2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
        3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
        4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

          I agree...they are junk. I tried to do Atkins before with a lot of their products and I didn't lose much and would always cheat. This time I haven't touched a LC product (with the exception of Heinz ketchup on top of my meatload) and I am way more successful.

            I agree, stay away from the Atkins "food" products. They taste yucky anyway.
