Default Atkins Basic #3 formula ?

Hi,

I finally got the supplements, but now am a little confused. Not sure if it is delayed pregnancy fart or what, as I gave birth 9 weeks ago (LOL), but hoping someone can help me out!!!!

The basic #3 says to take 3 tablets per day with meals (says serving size is 3 tablets). Does this mean I take 3 tablets with breakfast, 3 with lunch & 3 with dinner, for a total of 9 tablets in a day?? OR do I just take 1 tablet with B, 1 with L & 1 with D, for a total of 3 tablets for the day??? I'm SO confused.

And the same for the Atkins Basic Anti-Ox? It says to take 2 tablets per day with meals (says serving size is 2 tablets). Do I take 2 with each meal for a total of 6 tablets per day??? Or do I take 1 tablet with each meal for a total of 3 tablets per day??

I sure would like some input on this as I don't want to take too much, NOR do I want to take to little.

TIA,
Jo

I went through the same confusion when I got Basic #3. I now just take one with each meal for a total of three for the day. Those pills are so big, I don't see how they'd expect you to take three in one sitting! So mom2girls, I take one after a meal. If that is incorrect, please correct me other posters.

Thanks Paradise,
That's what I will do until I hear otherwise. I may even call the Atkins # on Monday just to confirm, but in the mean time, if anyone else has an opinion, we'd sure like to hear it!!
Thanks again,
Jo

Dr. Atkins' book says (re Basic #3) "...is designed to be taken as three tablets daily, one with each meal."

Can't get much clearer than that. The serving size listed on the bottle is given so you will know the total amount of vitamins, etc. you are getting each day from the three tablets.

Good luck to you,
Kay
