net carbs?

Hi y'all, do you count all carbs or net carbs?   I was just curious to see what others are doing.

All carbs as per instructions from my dietitian.

All carbs

All. I do note fiber carbs though just to make sure I'm getting enough roughage. 

A carb is a carb. Net carbs is a trap.

There is no such thing as net carbs on a nutrition facts label. Net carbs is always on the box or wrapper, meaning it is just hype and advertising. Don't fall for it.

It has been a long time since I was a hard core low carber but the theory behind this is that fiber is not digested and therefore does not provide any nutritional value except roughage.  That is why it was subtracted.  I am surprised to hear this concept has changed.  Something to definately ask the dietician about.  

If you were talking about the fiber in a natural food, such as celery, this would be true. But all of the "fiber" listed in processed foods definitely has nutritional value, raises blood sugar, contributes to RH, etc. It is absolutely a carb, and needs to be counted as such.

That definately explains it.  Wouldn't have considered eating "processed fiber" back then.  Was all into making it as close to nature as possible.  Thanks for the clarification.

I do net carbs, personally. Not saying it's right for everyone, but for me, as a Pre-op, it has helped me lose more weight than other diets!

All carbs.
