Keto Diet - Total or Net carbs?

nfpswife

Hey all,
It was suggested that I try a keto diet of less than 20 carbs a day....Just wondering if anyone else has tried this and has found results? Also- Am I to be counting total or net carbs?

Thanks!

I am on a keto diet and I am telling you it makes the biggest difference! I love it! I am only on month 2 so I haven't been at it for very long but the difference is amazing. I have more energy, my acne is going away, I am losing weight (couldn't at all before no matter what), my blood sugar is much better, everything.

In answer to the carbs question. It is 20 net carbs! Carbs - Fiber = net carbs. Keto differs from Atkins in that you don't subtract sugar alcohols from carbs while doing keto. Also, I am not sure if you are in America or elsewhere. In America, the nutrition info does not list net carbs. Elsewhere (not sure if everywhere else or just most places) net carbs are already listed so don't subtract fiber from those.
