I started the Atkins diet last week and I use the fitday site to track my eating, weight, exercise, etc (I love it!). But when I look at the nutrition report, I am really low in most of the nutrients. I've gone through the Atkins products to find a multivitamin but there are so many. Which one is best for induction? I have GNC Multi Gel tabs but they have way over the recommended % of so many and I know its not good to have too much of certain vitamins.

Can someone just recommend a product to buy that is good for a low-carb diet?

Also, I'm still confused over net carbs versus diabetic exchanges, etc. For example, in my local grocery ad, there is a recipe for a pork tenderloin roast w/vegetables. Per serving there is 540 calories, 38g carbs (7g fiber) 46g protein, 23g fat (5g sat fat). I'm going to list each ingredient in Fitday and substitute or eliminate vegetable, breadcrumbs (replace w/ground pork rinds??), etc. to see if I can make this lower in carbs. BUT, the recipe as is, says that while it has all of those carbs, it counts as only 2 1/2 carbs for diabetic exchanges. Why do diabetics only get 2 1/2 carbs when the ingredients clearly state 38g carbs??? Even if you minus out the fiber it's still 31g (although I think the 38g already accounts for the minus fiber since it's in parenthesis?). Do low-carbers get to count recipes the same as diabetics? If so, how did it get from 38 to 2.5 carbs?

I thought I was understanding this carb count thing, but after this I'm confused I'm really into this diet and have lost 8 pounds in one week so I know it works but I sure would like to understand these carb counts better! Especially now that I have my daughter and my sister on it as well and they look to ME for advice and recipes!

Thanks for any advice/comments anyone can offer me!
