just as a matter of interest, and being very nosey, why do you want the carb content of meds?
Question Author
so i know the carb content. some meds have quite a high count.

if this is a prelude to you warning me not to carb count, please dont...

the anti atkins hysteria in this country was largely down to people misunderstanding the diet...
But surely the meds are more important than the carb count?

And didn't Atkins die a fat obese man?
It silly to be worrying about the carbs in your medicines. That's taking things too far. I doubt any of the proponents of lo-carb diets would even consider that a necessary 'worry'.
Question Author
they are not essential meds...i would not stop them...they are vitamins, minerals painkillers, proplus...just general stuff and i only want to know if they will affect the 2 week induction bit

i have done it before and it worked for me
you can lose weight as effectively well by cutting down on carbs without cutting out carbs
I would think the carb content of vitamins is so small as to negligible to be honest.
Question Author
not during the initial 2 week phase...then every one counts...

i have discovered that a berooca type tablet i have been taking is actually quite high and has basically ruined my last 2 attempts

once that is done then you go back to eating more normally
Well I did the Atkins diet (about 8 years ago) and I certainly wouldn`t have worried about carbs in vitamins. In fact because the Atkins diet encouraged me to eat so much veg and good protein, I never felt that I should take multivitamins anyway.
weigh the tablets the most carb they could be is their weight in grams and of course they will be less than that....
Actual Berocca tablets do not contain any carbohydrates

joko, i wouldn't dream of warning you about anything. i was genuinely interested as i couldn't think of any reason why you'd need to know, didn't cross my mind about the atkins diet. hope it goes well for you.
Depending on what you are taking I don't think you should worry too much. Say for example you are taking 20g of medication, then the carbs will only be 10g tops or less, so I wouldn't worry about it.
