On Atkins you count net carbs. You can deduct fiber, glycerine and sugar alcohols from the total carb count thus getting your "net carbs." A lot of people will tell you to avoid the bars during Induction. I personally didn't use them. They cause some people to stall in their weight loss and don't seem to affect others. This is a case of YMMV (your mileage may vary.) If you aren't losing why don't you post a sample days menu and let us look at it. Maybe we can offer some advice. Is your fat high enough? Is your calories high enough? Are you drinking your water? There are a lot of things that factor in. Give us more info and we will do our best to offer some advice.
