i'm alittle confused.

how many carbs are we actually suppose to be taking in? with my IP packs i'm at about 25-28 then i reading looking up vaggies and they all have carbs as well? can someone help me please

Marnie- the total carbs are typically under 40, but as long as you are following the phase 1 sheet you don't have to worry about it.

Make sure you are not eating the occasional veggies every day.

i eat cucumber, celery brocolli and just taken a liking to turnip i make in to fries. i eat my 4 cups a day, just confused i've lost 13 pounds in 4 weeks. so i must be doing somthing right still??

Sounds goods! Congrats on that great loss so far.

On average, we take in between 20 and 40 NET carbs per day on Phase 1. Net carbs are what you get when you subtract dietary fiber from total carbs. Do NOT worry about the veggies - everything on the select veggie list is low in carbs and pretty good in fiber so that they are "safe" when we are keeping our carbs low. Just follow the sheet 100% and you will be right on track
