Hi all

On day 11 of my Atkins diet - have lost 10lbs so far!

The other night I cooked a boxed meal (from Morrisons) of 2 chicken breasts
stuffed with mushrooms in a caramelised red wine sauce. It was very nice!

I'm a bit puzzled though, my Atkins food list deducts fibre from total carbs
to give net carbs - of which I should eat 20 of in the first stage, yes?

Well... this boxed meal had, per 100g:

carbs 1.6g (of which sugar 1.3g)
fibre 2.5g

making the net carbs -0.9g (a minus amount of carbs???)

How does that work then?

I'm guessing you are not in the USA. Some other countries PRE-subtract the
fiber, in which case the 1.6 is what's left after that subtraction.

If you are in induction, however, you should not be eating items with sugar (even
OUT of induction it's not a good idea, but ESPECIALLY during induction).
Anything with "carmelized" in it's description should set off warning bells.

Sometimes they have already deducted the fiber, they always do in Canada and
England.

I'm in Canada and they DO NOT pre-subtract fibre from the total carbs on
labels.

That's right - I'm in the UK... I'll have to rethink that carb counting
then! I do avoid sugar as much as possible but now and then... and as I
say; 10lbs in 11 days! That's with quite a lot of Greek yoghurt and
blackcurrant squash too...

America and England - two countries divide by a common language!

Thanks
