Atkins - Net Carbs Negative carbohydrate what is going on? |
|---|---|
| I have started the atkins diet. I read something really interresting about the diet. Net carbs are worked out by taking away fibre among other things from the carbs. So when you "Say" look on the back of a packet of salad greens that say 3.0g carbs per 100grams and fibre in that is 4.6g you are left with -1.6g carbs. What is going on? in the book it states you can figure out net carbs so you can sqeeze more carbs into your diet without potentially ruining the fat burning process of ketosis. can anyone shed any light on this theory about net carbs cause it doesnt make any sense. does all the salad greens just go through your bum, without being absorbed in your body?
