[EmmaMum]

Hi everyone

Only started Atkins yesterday and I am soooo confused, do I have this right?

1. Unlimited meat, fish (but beware ham, bacon, sausage as may have carbs/sugar)

2. Unlimited eggs

3. 2-3 ounces of cheese do I include the carb content of thsi into my daily 18g allowance

4. 18g of carbs - now this is where I am confused is thsi just the carbs I get from veg etc or is it from everything ie cheese, sausage etc?

5. Cream - how much can I have on induction?

6. Jelly - can I have it or not

Sorry people I know its a lot but I have trawled websites all weekend but still find it very confusing. Hope you can help

Hi and welcome, so are you less confused now?

 

[EmmaMum]

A bit!! haha still not sure on the jelly? and I think i am best not having cream at all is that right?

 

[Jim]

Cream is fine, providing it's not got sugar in it, but I'd steer clear of the jelly and stuff initially.

 

[EmmaMum]

So do i just count the carbs in the cream into my daily 18g? and the same with sausage?

 

[Jim]

Yes, you can get some very low carb sausages, go back a couple of pages and you'll see a sausage thread.

 

[EmmaMum]

Thanks ever so much Jim xx

 

[Jim]

No worries love.

I wondered about carbs in cream too. I like cream in my coffee.

 

[EmmaMum]

It does have carbs so long as you count them you can have 3-4 tbsp on induction. Double has less carbs than single and don't have elmlea

[Jim]

ah yes, you must count the carbs in everything. Elmlea is bad than emma's mum?
