I have read the book. I apparently got something different from it than you did.
I got that it IS a matter of choice.....If you feel you must have these carbs, then you will eventually pay for them. Everyone reacts differently to carb blasts, depending on how long you have been LCing. Some people get gas and bloat, some get (sorry for the description) the runs, some people get headaches, and some it doesn't bother at all, and I'm sure there are reactions that I haven't experienced.
As for hidden carbs in theater butter, I personally have never worked in a theater, and have never seen the packaging the "butter" comes in, however, I know that Adkins says to avoid butter substitutes, and since theater popcorn isn't "real" butter, I don't know what additives are in it. For me, if it isn't fully leaded, I don't bother.
My husband eats Boyscout microwave popcorn. Of the three different kinds that are in the house at the moment, two have 16g carbs, 0 sugars, and one has 15g carbs, 0 sugars. I figure (of course I'm old too~lol) that a bag of microwave popcorn is about the size of a small popcorn at the theater. It's still approximate, and depends on who's doing the carb figuring.
So yah, it's been a long time since I've read the book, and I borrowed it at that, so I no longer have that reference. What I did get out of it seemed to work for me. I do still have 15lbs to goal, however, when I quit eating popcorn and hotdogs with buns (hot dogs totally since they are processed) I will reach my goal. If I never loose another pound at this point, so long as I don't gain, I could accept that. My WOL keeps me happy, satisfied, and at a stable weight.
That's what this site is for though, help in all areas of this WOL, so Slimshady, thanks for the info....
