    Re: inulin with 6 carbs on phase one

    After realising i knew nothing about this particular type of fiber, just
    had to go look it up...

    Inulin supplement : by Ray Sahelian, M.D., benefits of inulin fiber supplement

    (Curiosity kills the cat... again....)



    Honestly, I doubt this particular type of fiber was a marketed supplement when Atkins wrote the book... If it were me, I'd proceed cautiously (counting it as a "fiber supplement"), to see how my body reacts to it, count net carbs (just the digestible portion), and post results back here

      Re: inulin with 6 carbs on phase one

      After reading about carbs and fiber on the Atkins Diet. I now think Inulin should be fine. What I took was Fiber-Sure a powdered fiber supplement, the only ingredient -Inulin, 100% natural vegetable Fiber, no sugar added, 6g carbs, but 5g dietary fiber and 5g soluble fiber.
      Atkins says to subtract fiber from carbs. I would figure that to be 1 total carb that should be counted. Why would that be bad?

        I used 2 tsps of fibersure per day for the last 2 weeks. I lost about 12 pounds during that time. Everyone's reaction my be different though...

          I found some more really neat info on inulin. I purchased Fiber Choice which ends up to be inulin. It's sugar free strawberry with 4 gm of carbohydrate and 4 gram of fiber... so I count as zero carbs.

            What other ingredients in addition to the inulin?
            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
            Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

                I had the plain Fibersure..no flavor, no texture...you wouldn't even know you had it and I believe it was just inulin, no other ingredients
