Too few carbs - is that a problem?

[cristylp]

Today for my veggies I've had 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup califlower and 2 cups lettuce. My fiber today was good. I ended up with 16 carbs, 9 grams of fiber = 7 net carbs.

Is that okay? I almost feel like I should go ahead and have my decaf and splenda just to bump up the carb count.

Hi cristylp,

You're fine and I wouldn't add splenda or anything sweet to bump the carb count. Take a look at the Rules of Induction, rule 3 says "...eat no more than 20 carbs a day...", you don't have to reach 20 and as long as you're getting all of the required veggies in, no worries...you're doing fine.
