Net Carbs?

Ok so I'm still in my very 1st week of Atkins, and don't have my book yet.

Do we count carbs or net carbs?

And

Is net carbs: carbs-fiber=net carbs?

I'm sure this is a stupid question to y'all but I don't know the answer.

Thanks!

If you're doing DANDR (the 2002 version of Atkins), you count net carbs. And yes, carbs-fiber=net carbs.

In induction, you're supposed to keep to 20 carbs or less, with 12-15 of those carbs coming from salad and non-starchy vegetables.

How's it going for you so far?

good, I dunno if I'm doing it 100% to a T but I'm down 7 lbs since Thurs, so I'm happy with that!

I think I ordered the 2002 book the new 1
