Red book - yellow book

[Barb sugarfree!]

Is there a difference in these two books?  I have the red one and was curious.

Hi Barb  The red book is a revised and expanded version of the origanal yellow book.  It has everything the yellow book has but has added stories of folks on the forum and recipes from the cook book that you can order.  Also the motivational cd

The publisher bought the cookbook and combined it with the original yellow book.We added more recipes.Doug then went to the studio and recorded a motivational cd. It has done really well How are you doing Barb?

How are you doing Barb?


I'm doing ok, lost 1 # this week, feel better about that.  I feel good, and traking my net carbs.  I do still have questions........If a product has 0 carbs but has 12 g of sugar, is that ok to eat?

Still trying to get the label reading down, so I am eating the right things.  I've read the book and listen to the cd several times, but still have questions.  Thanks so much for your help.  I guess this is so new to me that I am making it harder than it really is.

Well, the answer would be "yes" because we ignore sugar on the label and just pay attention to net carbs. However, I'm curious - what food would have 0 carbs and 12 g sugar?

I'd look at the ingredients. This looks funky to me. I don't think you can have 12 g sugar and 0 g carbs.

  I just made that up 0 carbs 12g sugar.  Just trying to make sure I got this label reading right.  I think I am ok.


THANK YOU to everyone,

Sounds like you've got it, Barb!

It's IMPOSSIBLE for a food to have 12g sugar and 0g carbs.
That food (if it existed) would have AT LEAST 12g carbs.
