Help!!!!

Hello everyone I too have taken the atkins plunge but feel I may be confused(not difficult lol). I noticed an earlier thread and the chap was concerned about his carb count and he counted carbs on his meet and eggs. I thought the basics for atkins were that meat ang eggs were "free" and fill up on these and count your fruit, veg etc ! Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks : )

Some meats have hidden carbs, like some cured bacon, sausages and burgers. I'd defo count the carbs into my daily intake, i only bother with eggs if i've had 3 or more in one day.

BTW a food is only "free" if it has no carbs in it! Unfortunately food manufactorers love to add lil nasties in, always check the labels.

Thanks for the help, Can I ask if yogurts are allowed on the diet?

I never bothered to count carbs in meat and eggs myself. It depends on how much you're eating I suppose.

I count carbs in eggs but I do tend to eat quite a lot of eggs. Other than that I only count meat if its processed in any way.
