I really don't know why there is confliction. In a low carb book I was reading it said carrots were fine. I see them in my adkins new rev quick & easy cookbook. Is it a moderation thing? Do they have alot of natural sugar? I don't see them on the induction list I printed out from another website. Is it that I am looking in too many areas. I was wondering if I could use them as a side, but I guess not. You guys helped, I guess if I use them I'll just use them slightly then. Thank you so much.
