Re: Fitday + Atkins = Confusion | | If you count net carbs, a cup of raw eggplant only has 1.9 carbs. It is net carbs you should be counting.
You must count your carbs in order to know how many you should be eating once you move to OWL (add 5g to what you have been eating in induction). Whether you prefer to do this in Fitday, in DailyPlate, in NutritionData or on paper, it's up to you.
__________________ "The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
