Hey Buddy! You take the net carbs and subract the fiber...so 2 carbs per teaspoon is correct! Now that being said...are you eating all your veggies?? I find that when I am being really good about my veggies then everything else works fine. 2 cups salad veggie and 1 cup other...every day...no matter what stage you are on.

I was actually curious as well about soluble vs. insoluble fiber as far as net carbs go. Thanks for clearing that up Elsie.

Here you go....so when you are talking about figuring net carbs by subtracting fiber, subtract the total as neither soluble nor insoluble is absorbed. Both soluble and insoluble fiber are undigested. They do not get absorbed into the bloodstream. Instead of being used for energy, fiber is excreted from our bodies. Soluble fiber forms a gel when mixed with liquid, while insoluble fiber does not. Insoluble fiber passes through our intestines largely intact. Functions of Insoluble Fiber move bulk through the intestines control and balance the pH (acidity) in the intestines Benefits of Insoluble Fiber promote regular bowel movement and prevent constipation remove toxic waste through colon in less time help prevent colon cancer by keeping an optimal pH in intestines to prevent microbes from producing cancerous substances Food Sources of Insoluble Fiber Vegetables such as green beans and dark green leafy vegetables Fruit skins and root vegetable skins Whole-wheat products Wheat oat Corn bran Seeds & Nuts Functions of Soluble Fiber bind with fatty acids prolong stomach emptying time so that sugar is released and absorbed more slowly Benefits of Soluble Fiber lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (the Bad cholesterol) therefore reducing the risk of heart disease regulate blood sugar for people with diabetes Food Sources of Soluble Fiber Oat/Oat bran Dried beans and peas Nuts Barley Flax seed Fruits such as oranges and apples Vegetables such as carrots Psyllium husk Fiber 101: Soluble Fiber vs Insoluble Fiber Written by Gloria Tsang R.D.
