Hey everyone! This is day one for me on induction and I did a bit of shopping. I noticed when I went to buy the atkins snack bars and shakes that they all have like 21g of carbs... am I reading it wrong as far as how many NET carbs they have?? Please help. Thanks! [ / icon_biggrin. gif]

Net carbs is determined by taking the total carbs and subtracting fiber and sugar alcohols.
Warning: Most people experience a stall from the bars and shakes.
I personally found the shakes aren ' t as bad at stalling as the bars. And I ' m often ok if I just have one every so often. But I was snoozy for a while and having bars instead of meals ( skipping breakfast & lunch ) and it stalled me big time.
You best choices for foods are foods you cook yourself so you know the ingredients and there is no " fudging ".
Welcome and good luck!

Thanks for that info! I will try to keep away from them as much as possible, I am usually in a hurry in the mornings, but I may just have to start getting up a little bit earlier [ / icon_lol. gif]

You don ' t have to do breakfast at breakfast.
I ' m always running late. Generally I make a little extra from dinner and I can nuke and go in the morning. Or just some ham & cheese rollups to munch in the car on the way to work.

Keep a few boiled eggs in the fridge. Slice and heat 2 of them in microwave and add some cheese and enjoy for breakfast.10 октября 2008 г.
