13 carbs today!!!

Two days in a row- I am under the 20!!!

  That's awesome!!!  I am having a hard time even coming close to that!  How are you doing it?  What are you eatiing?

yea, what Ron said - how can you get below 20 carbs in a day. Do you count net carbs or all carbs (fiber, SA, etc.) ? 
 

What is a good number in grams of carbs we should have on a daily basis..Melva

Ok according to atkins 20 grams a day during the first phase. I have been eating a lot of protein- for instance I have a matrix shake w water- thats 2 carbs. I also have nectar shakes which are 0 carbs and 0 fat.  I have had egg white w cheese, sf jello and heavy cream - one carb. I have been drinking water and crystal light like crazy. At lunch and dinner I have chicken breast, lettece which take a cup to get 1 carb and ground beef to make taco salad. Yesterday went well- today for lent I will have shrimp scampi( very low carb) and salad. DInner left over as I cant eat the whole lunch and a stick of cheese! You can do it!!
Watch out for those fudgsciles they have 4 carbs.  Thanks

Oh I also count all carbs!

WOW.... yea fudgesickels are bad - specially for people who will eat them as long as they are in the house - and nothing else until all of them are gone... (yes,  I have done that)

That is awesome how are you doing it would yo share your meal plan I am at 25 gms per day would love to keek it under 20.
