• Low carb diets are based on the premise that certain carbohydrates contribute to blood glucose levels, while other carbohydrates do not.
• Low carb diets consider certain carbs such as fiber and sugar alcohol “non-impact carbs”. Non-impact carbs are carbs that you can’t metabolize or use, so they don’t count, so to speak.
• Net carbs are calculated by taking total carbohydrate grams and subtracting fiber and sugar alcohol grams. The remaining carb grams are considered a given product’s net carbs.
