Need help figuring out Net Carbs!
| Wed, 11-05-2003 - 9:49am |
I am on day 3 of Phase 2 and loving life so much more now that I can have yogurt and sugar free Jello and popcorn! I now look at carbs on everything I buy. I could use some pointers in trying to determine what is concidered low carb.
Thanks,
Jessica

I am not an expert on this but if I am wrong someone else please help. I think you subtract the fiber and sugar alcohols from the carbs. Do not subtract the sugars only the sugar alcohols. Sometimes there are no sugar alcohols (only sugar). Sugar alcohols are absorbed differently into your blood stream. Hope this helps. Cathy
From what I've read, 3 gms of carbs per serving, or less, is considered a good choice.

I've read about 3 gms of carbs in the interviews with Dr. A (posted in the FAQ thread), and just found this from Prevention.com as well, about the "3 carb rule".

Does anybody know the correct answer then, for the original question?
