Default Re: Carb Counter?

You don't have to worry about it... everyone's body is somewhat different anyway, so that even if you got the ABSOLUTE right percentages suggested in the book by Dr. Atkins, those are only guidelines for the TYPICAL person.

Please don't give up because it is too much work. Many people don't use any counters at all, just look to see if they are in kitosis and not eat beyond satiation. Although if you eat less than your resting metabolic rate which is about 1200 calories for most females, you actually start losing weight more slowly than if you ate 100 or 200 calories above it. But again it is not an EXACT science, because our bodies are not exactly alike.

I love the lovely girl in your siggy, Munchkin. I am thinking that is what you plan to be.

(Also please be patient if you don't get an answer to your post right away, we tend to check in about once a day, so sometimes you may have to wait for a day to get your question answered.)
