"The book says that it is ok to have 0 calorie diet soda. The diet soda never had any "bad" effect on me during Atkins, so I am planning on continuing to drink it on CAD. Can I only drink it with my meals? Or can I have it throughout the day when I want. "
I do not know the answer to this-I sometimes have a diet coke between meals-but this is rare-I would certainly make sure that my soda intake did not interfere with my water intake.
"I have read on this board that CM's should be restricted to 8 grams and the snack to 4 grams. Can I comprose this of low-carb foods instead of food that are on the list? For instance, I never eat cooked breakfast, but sometimes I have a low-carb muffin. They have 6 grams of carbs. Can I have this for my breakfast meal? "
You should not eat any foods that are not on the complimentary food list. You would have to see if the ingredients in you muffin met this crtiteria. Hellers have a locarb muffin recipe in their book that includes soy flour which is not on the list. I know that I have read the 8 and 4 gram guidelines, but I don't remember where-Maybe in the CALP book?
Where did these #s come from, as I have not read that in the book.
"Also, I like low-carb chocolate bars. They have under 4 carbs for a bar. Can I eat this for my snack or for my breakfast because it has low carbs. I know these could cause craings, but I am not worried about that because I will not eat because of them. I ate them when I was on Atkins. "
Low carb chcolate is not allowed during cms. The only dessert I see reference to is sugar free jello, but again there are complimentary desserts in the recipe section.
In my opinion-The purer and more natural the food the better. Perhaps someone with more experience can answer more dEfinitively, but with book in hand this is the best I can do. Let's see what the others say!
Thank you. [/B]
