I went and got a fill this weekend.. and also went to on of Dr. Curry's support groups. I learned something new. Now this might be old hat for everyone else, but stupid me just found out. You can subtract Fiber and Sugar Alcohol from Carbs to get a true Carb number. Example: SBD High Protein Cereal Bar Chocolate 15g Carbs 3g Fiber 3g Sugar Alcohol So you would only count 9g of Carbs. I wish I would have known that 9 months ago. I have been tearing my hair out trying to keep my carbs down and couldn't do it. While I am sure I am still over most days.. I am alot closer now. Amanda

I knew there was a different way in counting... but for the life of me, couldn't remember! Thanks!

The more things the change, the more they're still the same.

When you subtract the fiber and sugar alcohol is when you get NET carbs. Check with your surgeon/NUT to see if you are to keep track of NET carbs... or ACTUAL carbs... a lot of foods will say 'lo carb' because the NET carbs are low... but the product is really high in carbs. My NUT has me track ACTUAL carbs so I still have to watch every bit! I am allowed just 2 servings from bread/starches a day and the rest of my carbs come from fruits/veggies/dairy.

Shoot... I wish I got to keep track of NET carbs... Im sure if I asked if I could they would lower my carbs!!! :-) I eat 90-100g carbs a day... its hard to stay under... well its easy if I stay away from bread carbs... but I am addicted to soy crackers! Little things are so tasty good... I have to keep them out of the house!
