Hi, I am starting Atkins again, having done it 15 years ago, After re-gaining 25 lbs. I joined WWatchers, got to goal, went on staff, retired moved and gained back 20 of the 50 lbs. I lost on WW. (I never got to goal with Atkins)
I decided to do Atkins again because it is so easy and my husband agreed to do it with me. He refused to do WW and I thought it was too much charting etc. So, today is day 12 and I have lost 7 lbs., my Husb. 12 and we are sailing along. My question is about net carbs, how to count them and what are they really? I was bummed to find out bacon has some carbs, and that pepperoni is not allowed due to the nitrates. Also, my strips have not gone beynd trace, but I am losing very well. Answers?? thanks, cynthia
