Cellulose is in my GNC Womans Vitamins

[Lynn CC]

Are Atkins people not supposed to have cellulose?
I tried looking it up in the book, but I couldn't find anything on Cellulose. I thought someone here might have more info on this.
Thanks!

I have not heard either way...What is it, and what does it do?

I think it's just a fiber filler. I don't think it will sabotage your Atkins efforts.

I found this info:

Cellulose is made of repeat units of the monomer glucose. This is the same glucose which your body metabolizes in order to live, but <b>you can't digest it in the form of cellulose.</b> Because cellulose is built out of a sugar monomer, it is called a polysaccharide.

Thanks for the info Katholyn. I was wondering if that was knocking me out of ketosis, hmmm would having too much splenda? That's the only thing I can think of other than the vitamins. I had a couple of beige testings, but then it was back to purple. I was just trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Are you eating enough fat, Lynn, that has an effect on your ketosis too, I think.
