Digest Number 356
9 g of carbs? WOW you must have a lot of willpower! Atkins induction
is 20 g. I try to stay between 20-25, varies. The thing I have learned
is how many hidden carbs exist. There are things that have less than one
carb per serving so they can legally list it as 0 but when you get more
than one serving it adds up. I just recently learned that eggs have
carbs, heavy cream (although less than skim milk), aspartame, and many
products that are listed as “sugar free”.

Not 9 grams of carbo a day it was 9 units of carb which is 135 grams. Of
which I try to equally spread throughout the day. I do not snack unless
I have a low sugar. I try to eat 1.5 to2 for breakfast, 3 to4 for lunch
and the same for supper. I try to eat about the same time of the day and
take my insulin accordingly. It is not always done right but I am human
with an active life. Like I told my doc. if I was a robot I could do it
but I have a life to lead also. I hope this clears up my statement.
