Newbie confusion... calling for help from all that know the program! :)

[Debi2007]

Okay... so I just got the book today. Yay! Now I am reading the details of the plan and being into my third day have realized a very big error on my part.

It was recommended that I use Fitday. I just tossed all my menu items in and went with the bottom carb numbers. Now I realize that Fitday does not minus the fiber. So... a cup of raw broccoli 4.61g of carbs - the 2.64g of fiber. Right?

This makes a HUGE difference...lol. Someone please tell me I am reading this right.

On fitday if you go to goals and set fibre as a goal it will show up when you enter your foods, you will still need to subtract it from the carb count but it makes it easier!

Thanks so much! I just wanted to make sure I was reading it correctly. Yay! I have not been eating enough carbs...lol. I guess reading the book is very important.

Not only is reading the book very important, it's VERY important!
You can't follow the plan if you don't know what it is!! hehe.

At least it was too little carbs and not to many!!

I was following the plan on the Atkins website, cause I hadn't had a chance to get the book yet. The website gives all the basics, but I don't remember seeing anything about the fiber. I tend to think I can get all the information I need online... and sometimes that works. In this case. No.

lol Yeah, I learned the hard way too... hehe!
just to clearify, what I meant was that there is a lot of info in the book you'll need that you can't really get online... you can get bits and peices sure, but the book explains it all... that's all!

54 lbs is awesome, you go girl!!
