stay under 20g of total carbs for Induction, OK to go over 20g in controlled increments during OWL.

measure your vegetables raw.

recommend reading Atkins' New Diet Revolution if you haven't already done so -- lots of great info there.

Hi Alfred,

It's very important to read the book. Vegetables aren't your only source of carbs - they all need to be counted. The book helps you understand the little rules of thumb that make it easier.
