Net Carbs is Total Carbs minus the amount of Fiber and the amount of sugar alcohols.

Total Carbs is all the carbs in the product. Net Carbs subtracts the carbs that are less likely to cause a reaction with your blood sugar.

Hope this helps.

Personally, I just count all the carbs. That way I don't have to worry about if I'm doing it correctly or not. There was huge debate with the Atkins people years ago when they starting talking about net carbs. If they counted all of the carbs, people would not have purchased their bars, shakes etc and they would not have made a ton of money off us dieters.

Just my opinion. :confused:

Yeah, i am not either, I am counting TOTAL carbs, but it was saying 4g net carbs! on the front of a bag and then I read the back and it said like 9 or something, so I was like what does that mean?

I guess I am dork for not know, but I just wanted to be sure I was counting correctly!

I am on track, doing great and feeling better about the whole carb thing. I think it just struck a cord, because my doctors office doesn't focus or talk about them at all and when I asked they told me to just worry about Protein and calories and Water, so it was just a frustrating revelation. But hopefully this works and thanks to my VSG friends, I am hopefully going to be losing again soon!

Rcarter, not a dork at all. It just means you haven't been on a million low carb diets like some of us. :biggrin0: I'd say that's a good thing!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
