So confusing
I'm confused where you are getting a recommended 12 grams carbs per day from? In the book (2002 edition of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution), it says we eat no more than 20 net carb grams per day and the majority of it comes from vegetables.

looking in my carb counter book it says lettuce 75g=0.7
Now is that 0.7 of 1g or 7g's??
No, it means that 75 grams of lettuce contains 0.7 grams of carbs. (Which is why lettuce isn't the best choice of vegetable on that list.)

I have a question for you. Are you from the UK, because the UK edition completely messed up converting US volumetric measures to grams?
