Okay now I am a bit confused!!

I thought that you were allowed unlimited meat and eggs but that you had to limit cheese and salad and veg
But i see on some other threads on here that people are counting carbs in eggs and bacon etc, what is best to do?
I was just gonna eat it and not count the carbs in the stuff i thought was unlimited!!

I use My Fitness Pal and let that do the figuring out for me. It counts eggs and I'd just look at the packaging for bacon/sausage etc.

Check the pack of bacon for carbs, ive never bought one with (just done buy the maple smoked stuff i think it has sugar in), and i dont count eggs either. Go by the book hon x

 

[ditzeeblonde]

I don't count eggs or meat. x

bacon is sometimes processed (additives added which mean it sometimes contains carbs) pure meat, steak, chicken, pork, fish etc are all zero carbs and therefore unlimited..

Simple buy additive free bacon-or just go by the book works for me

 

[collo-collo]

[LVLLM]

I got my book off ebay. There is a new version but a lot of us are using the older version as it varies.

 

[StephenP]

[LVLLM]

[collo-collo]

[LVLLM]

lmao. i dont bother about the nitrates in the bacon its just health reasons not weight loss and tbh my purse aint that big lol.

Ive not seen it but i buy a carb free bacon from sainsburys. 16 slices for £2. Not bad i think! Be very careful with sausages as most are very high.

do they sell the old one Ste?

I am a charity shop fiend (love vintage clothes and hats) I often see the first atkins book in a charity shop for no more than a pound or so.

 

[cherl889]

Buy them all jiggly then sell it to people on here. Lol

i dont count meat or eggs either, nor do i count butter (but then i dont eat much i mainly cook with it.

i have found carb free food that i stick to as snacks IF i am ever hungry (pepperami, babybel, scratchings, mattesons sausage)

i do occasionally eat processed foods but it is few and far between
