Default Calculating Carbs
Ok... So I've been on the diet since Janurary and I've lost arounfd 50 lbs. But I've hit a bit of a stopping point. My body just doesn't seem to want to let go of anymore weight and there is plenty more to lose. I've started a workout program and it's going well and the weight that was holding in the same spot for a month has now slowly begun to move donward again. One of my problems is that I don't eat often enough in the day. Part of the reason why I am overweight is because I'd go 24 hours without eating and then eat a large pizza LOL. So getting out of the eating once a day habit was bad enough but doing it within the guidelines of the diet is proving to be a little aggrivating. I bought some of the Atkins Advantage snack bars and such. But I find their numbers confusing. The pack says "Only 2 Net Carbs" But there are 18g of Carbs and only 10g of dietary fiber per serving (one bar). What am I missing. Is it a trick. Is the "only 2 Net Carbs" part only if you eat 25% of the bar even though one bar is a serving? Help. These things will help me get calories through the day and they have lots of vitamins and such so they'd be good for me. But I don't want to get too many carbs. And the difference between "Only 2 Net Carbs" and 8g is enough to be concerned about. Especially if I'm gonna eat two or three of these things a day.
