It can be confusing. For the first two weeks of my diet I used the
www.atkins.com website and their carbohydrate calculator. It really helped me keep track and find the correct measurement. It also helps to write everything you eat down to keep track of your carbs. Don't worry about calories. You'll be fine. Have a reward system in place for yourself as well. I have a brand new pair of Victoria's Secret Silk pajamas in two sizes too small hanging on my bedroom wall. when I fit into them I get a day at the spa complete with facials, massages, and mani pedis. Its what keeps me motivated besides the fact I'm losing weight. If you want a diet buddy P.M. me and I'll help you where I can! Good Luck You'll find you'll do well and feel great and lighter in no time..
