Veggie and Atkins Induction new starter!
 

Hi all
My husband bought me the Atkins New Revolution Diet Book for Christmas! I have now started it and am finding it a bit difficult. Being a veggie (no meat nor fish), I am eating the veggie bacon and the veggie chicken slices for breakfast. Is this ok do you think and must I add these carbs to the total intake or are these "free" as in meat?

Help!!! :daze:

Hi fine! Nice huband you have!

Sorry! You have to count them as carbs. All carbs are not created equal, but a carb is a carb. It can't be changed.

Vegetable protein products - tofu, tempeh, miso, TVP, etc. contain carbs.

Hi Karen
 

Thank you for reply re: the carbs.
Did you find it difficult to count carbs at first?
Will it come naturally?
I so want this to work

In the introduction forum under Newbies questions there is an article I wrote on carb counting and how to make it easier. It becomes second nature in no time!
