Get out your Dr. Atkins book and read the OWL chapter again for a good explanation of what to do. The recommendation is to increase carbs by 5 grams a week until you find level that you are still losing weight at. Carbs should be in the form of vegetables.

If it is a packaged item that has sugar in it, it's probably best to stay away from it. It may set off cravings especially if you have just started out low-carbing.

If you're sick, drink broth or protein shakes. Better than bread any day!
