  • Well, since posting this I noticed President's Choice has corrected the nutritional info on these bags...the carbs and fiber are now switched.
  • You all are cracking me up on your alcohol comments. I am going on a vacation in October with friends and I am afraid I am going to be a very cheap date . . . and make a fool of myself!!! It is interesting how just a little alcohol affects us when we are low carbing.

    SaskNewfie: how long did it take for the 7 pounds to come back off?? My plan is to drink a lot of water all day long and hope for the best.
  • Interesting thread...I love edamame and used to cook it in the shell then salt it like they do in a Japanese restaurant. My kids love it. Then discovered too much soy is not good for you, so I cut back.
    Here is a listing I found for carbs. Interestingly, it shows that if you boil it and not steam it, there are more carbs. Maybe more sugars are released?

    It took about a week to get back down.
  • I forgot about soy beans, I will have to get some from Sam's once I am done with the induction phase. They are a good snack.
  • I love edamame and eat it on induction. It can be a quick and easy snack. I think the key, as with anything in any stage, is moderation.

    A whole bottle of bacardi?! Woah.
    I have the occasional whiskey & diet coke. I've never gained with this combo. I do miss my wine though. Alot.
  • Also, I think the reason why they say "no alcohol on induction" is because when you drink, you have a tendency to want to snack...at least I do. I remember years ago going out with friends for cocktails and winding up at a restaurant eating all kinds of horrible things. Drunk food, so to speak.
  • Quote: Here's a pic of the nutritional info on the package:
    seems like there is an error on the package, because each gram of fibre is a carb gram. Read other labels, of food with lots of fibre and you should see that the fibre and other carbs like starches and sugars add up to the total carbs. so I think this label isn't right.
