Carbs vs Net Carbs

One of the most discussed topics in the fitness industry is the concept of carbs vs net carbs and what should be counted.

The way you compute your net carbs is by subtracting the total grams of fiber from the total grams of carbs.

So, why would you only count these?

Fiber plays a VERY important role in your health but it has no nutritional value, zero calories, and does not affect your blood sugar like other carbs. Fiber travels through your digestive system undigested.

Vegetables are EXTREMELY high in fiber so the net carb count is obviously low.

Foods like baked goods and desserts barely have any fiber but a very high carb count. This can lead to diabetes, heart disease, weight gain, and obesity.

It's a very simple concept with simple science behind it. Leave your thoughts!!
