Count net carbs or actual carbs?



Recommended Posts

if you are tracking your carbs, do you count the net carbs (like you do on Atkins Diet) or do you count the actual carbs?

I track actual carbs - but I set my daily goal keeping in mind that some of those will be Fiber. If that makes sense?

I track actual carbs. For the way my mind works if I focused on net carbs I'd try and justify less than stellar choices.

Actual..net carbs is an Aktins ripoff.

I do net carbs.... I always subtract the fiber.

Speaking of fiber, I heard a lot of good things about the Quest Protein bars so I ordered a variety pack. It came in a couple of days ago and tried one this morning ( I think it was called lemon creme) and it was pretty good. One great benefit is that the bars have a lot of fiber -- the lemon creme has 16 grams of fiber, 20 grams of Protein and 170 calories.

They are more expensive but they really do pack a punch as a Meal Replacement...I'm looking forward to trying the other flavors.

thanks everyone for your input. I bought some sugar free Werthers candies to suck on and they are 4 carbs each, which concerned me.

To get net carbs do you subtract dietary fiber and sugar? Or just dietary fiber?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
