    Could Someone please tell me Atkins stance on NET CARBS? I havent been
    on the diet in awhile and now that Ive hit one month...I think they may
    be getting in the way. Thank you.


    I gently suggest that you either:

    1) read the book where this answer is given in some detail

    or

    2) Read the informatin at the Atkins web site on this subject where it
    is gone into detail as well.

    You have to eventually take some responsibility for educating yourself
    with all of the wornderful resources you have today.

    Aof course, not reading and just asking is ever so much easier than
    actually doing it for yourself.

    Nevertheless, I wish you well in learning how to take care of yourself
    and improve your body and health.

    Reading, without it we can only ask questions. But then we still have to
    read the answers. However, talking email should be capable of
    eliminating the need to read.

    IIRC the 2002 edition of the print book still used total carbs.

    The web site switched to net carbs while the good doctor
    was still alive.

    My conclusion - In the latest version available net carbs is
    preferred.

    On Atkins it does not matter which you pick after the first
    several weeks. Net carbs makes a big difference during the
    14 days of Induction. But then there is the schedule of
    carb quotas going 20, 20, 25, 30, 35 and so on until you
    spend a week out of ketosis. Your CCLL is 5-10 under that
    amount. Your cells don't know or care if you deduct so
    your CCLL will be the same food net or total. It will
    just be a different number.

    If you are accustomed to counting one way, stick with it.

    That said, if I were to start today rather than 5.5 years
    ago, I would count net. It's the latest thing.
