      As Liv said, the UK editors tried to make things easier for us who don't use the USA 'cup' measurement on the whole by converting the veg amounts to ounces/grams. However they didn't realise that though an american 'cup' = 8 ounces it equals 8 fluid ounces (237 mls) not 8 weight ounces (227 grams).

      To find out how much a cup of the induction vegetables there is a good thread called 'weight per cup of induction vegetables' somewhere so you can work out how much of them counts as one cup for planning your menus
      http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...p-measure.html

      or you can search the USDA database which is the source for most other compiled lists
      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!

        Boy do I remember those posts by the poor UK folk about all the salad they had to eat.
