Net carbs vs. total carbs (LCN 66)

By JA October 10, 2017

Net carbs

Total Carbs - Fiber = Net Carbs Low Carb Nugget 66 Math to the rescue? Net carbs are the difference between total carbs in a food and the fiber. The idea is that fiber doesn't do much if anything to raise your blood glucose, so you can safely ignore it. Keep your net carbs low, and you'll keep your blood glucose and insulin response low.

My LCHF week in review: May 24 – May 30

By Jim May 31, 2015

Net carbs defended

By Jim May 1, 2015

Net carbs formula

Calculating "Net Carbs" In following my low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diet, I've always been guided by the concept of "net carbs." This is the notion that carbohydrates from fiber don'’t get used by the body to raise blood glucose levels, so therefore fiber content can be subtracted from total carbs. What'’s left, the net carbs, are what the LCHF dieter counts and pays attention to. Or so I have believed. I've lost weight by keeping my net carb intake to around 30 - 35 grams per day.
