Also - the sugar alcohol. If I am not mistaken.

I've been counting actual. I would LOVE to count net carbs but it feels like cheating... any thoughts?

Net carbs as said above are carbs minus fiber. Fiber slows the rate of digestion thereby lowering the blood sugar spike. Fiber does not offset the calories in a carbohydrate. Count all your carbs for the best results.

I used to count net carbs................just because it allowed me to eat more.

After being on Atkins and Primal Blue Print for some time, net carbs got me in trouble with over eating............even fruits and veggies.

So now, I count actual carbs.

Well, right now I am doing the HCG plan to get my hormones straightened out............

Usually I eat about 35-40 on average. And believe me, it is a lot of food!!!
