Do you just look at the carbs itself.. Or do calculations to get net carbs?

    Maybe post this in one of the low carb groups instead of the general forums.

    I look at carbs minus fiber. I DO count sugar alcohols because I do believe they effect my blood sugar. I'm very sensitive to glucose and this seems to work for me.

    My goal is to keep my total carbs for the day below 50. Net carbs are best for me around 30. I also look at net carbs in one sitting. More than 15 net carbs or so at once and I feel like I get a sugar crash later (no matter how low GI those net carbs were). Too much sugar alcohols just makes me crave more sweet things.
