Question Carbs vs. NET Carbs on Induction? Confused and need help
permalink
Tried searching but to no avail. I'm currently in the induction phase of Atkins and learning what I can and cannot eat. In the book, I need to remain under 20 carbs per day. Now, is that 20 NET carbs or 20 carbs TOTAL? Because from what I understand, Carbohydrate count includes Dietary Fiber, which the body doesn't use. So if I have something that is 20g carbohydrates with 10g dietary fiber, am I eating 20 carbs or 10?!? I just don't want to sabotage myself during this. Thanks in advance!
