So my VIactive has 3 carbs PER chew, and I am supposed to have 2 a day... then two chewable children's vitimins have at least 3 carbs I"m sure... that's NINE carbs a day just from this stuff!

I am trying to keep it around 30-40 a day in the weightloss phase...

Any suggestions???

Thanks :-)

I counted those carbs. That meant that from food, I was going to only get 20-25gr of carbs. It was manageable.

I took(still take) a calcium citrate chewable since carbonate is not recommended, and my multi has carbs too since it's chewable as well. In maintenance, I didn't worry about those carbs, but in my losing stage those little boogers counted.

Okay... I guess I'll just suck it up :)

I was imagining a life with a few more carbs (i've been staying around 20 since March)... I was looking towards some crazy stuff... like greek yogurt :-) BUT since the portions are so small, I bet that I'll be able to have it and still stay under 25.

Thanks for the reality check!

I didn't really count mine because on my plan I wasn't given a limit on a specific amount of carbs early on. I track them, but don't really consider them like I do the food.

change your vitamins. ask yourself why you picked those vitamins.
If you stay with them... count your carbs.
