If you are trying to stay under 20-30 net grams per day then you really do need to check the net grams of all the beans in chili. I made beanless chili when I was actually sticking to my diet.
low carbers..

I don't care.
It was damn good, and I enjoyed every single bite.
I thought black beans were ok, but maybe I'm wrong.
Food Serving Carbohydrates Dietary Fiber
Black beans 1/2 cup, boiled
20.4 g Carbs
-6.1 g Fiber
= 14.3 g Net Carbs for 1/2 Cup.

True. Atkins.com has an "acceptable foods list" that is really helpful.when I was restricting carbs more I stuck to this list and it really simplified things..plus it includes carb counts. Now that I have loosened up a little I throw a 1/4 cup or so of beans in the chili..but I did used to make beanless chili when I was being restrictive..but you have to watch the tomatos there too...

English is weird. There is an "e" in tomatoes..but not tomato? because tomatoe is wrong..but tomatos looks wrong too. Why do I struggle with the simple words?
tomatoes.

I did protein power 8 years ago. Similar to Atkins. Drs Eades
I remember my step mother doing atkins and all she ate was bacon
There should be plenty to eat if you get a book. I would include a good amount of fruit in the diet along with fiber.

One can't eat fruit on a low carb diet.

of course you can. You just incorporate it into your meals. Some fruits are higher in sugar than others.

South Beach introduces fruits back into your diet into the second phase. No low carb diets allow you fruits in the first phase. It would be impossible for you to keep under 25g net carbs if you had any type of fruit.

I found my new favorite snack...
I was looking for something for breakfast when I am too lazy to make eggs/wrap etc...so I bought some plain oikos yougurt cups (5 carbs 12g protein) ..the flavors were too high in sugar..so I am not particularly fond of the non- flavored but I am restricting right now..so at my desk trying to choke it down..i had alittle inspiration and added a little bit of crystal light powder to it...delicious!! Better than the flavors IMO and no added carbs. my new fave snack..only 5 carbs.

Dreamfields Pasta is now at Safeway!
I just went shopping at the Safeway in Prince Frederick last night. They've started carrying some Dreamfields Pasta. They have the elbows, the penne and the spaghetti. I wasn't able to find it anywhere for such a long time. Made some last night, can't even tell it's low carb it's so good. Not sure if the other SW stores are carrying it but it's worth a look.
