I know this is easy, but I am already starting to confuse myself. I thought real butter was good? Or at least better than margarines, trans fat, etc...
I bought low fat colby jack cheese, which I thought was okay because lowfat cheese was listed in the Phase 1 foods list. Well, I bought that little carbs book by dr. A and colby and jack cheese are not recommended. Neither is butter.
Does anyone know why? I checked the carbs on my cheese and they are, I think 5 grams.
Should I really be watching my carbs? Or...should I try to lose weight without freaking out on all the numbers and then if I hit a plateau, pay more attention to carbs? I did not notice anywhere in the book where it ever mentioned counting carbs, then again I only read up to starting Phase 1.
To confuse me more!!!! My friend is on Atkins and says I should not be eating anything FF and that I can have butter and if SBD says no, then I should switch to Atkins. Uh, don't think so....keep in mind, she hates fruits and veggies so Atkins is right up her alley.
Any insight would be appreciated
