Urgent, need answers...

Hello everybody

Two questions:

Does Cristal Light count as water intake?

How do you count the net carbs in the atkins bars (I find it very, very confusing)
The label reads:
Total carbs 18g
dietary fiber 1
sugar alcohol 2g
sugar 1g

if you calculate it comes down to 15 grams. But the front of the package says its only 3g of net carbs...

Could you explain?

Thanks

Part one ...... no Crystal light does not count as water it should be plain pure water.

As far as Atkins bars go it's always a debate on whether you should be having them or not certainly you need to be further up the rungs to consume the things in them .... nuts ect..... The number listed on the front as net carbs are the ones that impact blood sugar levels however a Lot of people find themselves stalling when they eat those kinds of things so I just plain avoid them.

I love junk food and so naturally I went straight for the Atkins bars but I've noticed that I haven't lost as much weight as I should have. So bottom line I'm staying away from them for a while until I've lost at least half of my goal weight. There are days when this diet is a breeze and others that are really hard. I've 3 children so there's goodies in the house and it just makes it hard (sometimes)!!!! Today is one of those days that I'm fighting myself to hang in there. I'll make it thru

Hey, For my greatest surprise, I came across a Nashville restaurant where Atkins cheese cakes were found. They were yummy & healthy.

Does anybody know about restaurants where atkins dishes are prepared.
