NyQuil and Atkins???

[Vanilla]

I am still in my Induction Stage of Atkins. I've been sick with a very bad cold. I take NyQuil every 6 hours. Will this blow my diet? I have been eating the allowed foods, nothing else. I've also been drinking alot of water. Does anyone know how many carbs are in the plain NyQuil, not the cherry?

Generally when a person is sick, we advise them to take what they need to help them through it. I have no idea how many carbs are in Nyquil...try a search for their website and see what you find if it doesn't say anything on the bottle. There are sugar-free remedies available at pretty much every drugstore...they have to have something for the diabetics to take, so ask about that the next time you are there.
Keep drinking that water and feel better soon!

Try taking the NyQuil pills. The liquid has a fair amount of sugar in it (even the plain old stuff), but I think that's left out of the pill form. So you get the same meds, but none (or less) sugar.

Pills work wonderful and are what I always recommend anyone take for illness, cold or otherwise.

I hope you're feeling better soon!

Look at it this way. You can't cheat if you're unconcious.
