@potamic me too. I just follow the plan. I do weigh my self every day and if the scale doesn’t move closer to a week, I eat 4 packets a day for 1-3 days and no protein to get the scale moving.

From what I'm adding up, I'm getting about 25 to 30 carbs daily. That's meat veggies and ideal protein food combined.

@subtrahend on my boxes its 28 carbs just from 1 Dorados and 1 choc chip pancakes. How can those, salted caramel clusters, meat and veggies only be adding up to 25-30 carbs daily?

If you eat your 3 packets per day and your 4-6 oz lean protein and your vegetables there is no need to count carbs.

I was just curious because I like to use the Ip salad dressing on my 4 cups of daily vegetables.

@potamic that’s allowed. You get 4 extras per day

Good question! I just realized that every cup of frozen riced cauliflower has 5 grams of carbs! Yikes! That can’t be good?!?!

@camphor1444 is that net carbs? I don’t think I’ve even looked. I just assumed vegetables would be low.

@alienation58 no idea! I don’t even know what that means! I just eat the sheet and try not to think about it! No more looking at labels for me! Lol
