Default Re: Carbs In SPICES??!!

I wouldn't worry about it for the following reasons:


1. Dr. A. didn't say to worry about the carb counts. Nor did he suggest moderation. All he said was to make sure there's no added sugar.

2. These carbs likely do not impact blood sugar very much, if at all.

3. The amount used is usually well less than the tsp. serving size.

4. Spices are necessary to help many of us eat things we normally otherwise would not eat on this plan, so they're kind of necessary for many of us.

5. It's a little over the top to count carbs in spices in the grand scheme of things. I'd just ignore the carb counts and just use common sense...
