kristinwitha_k Report post Posted February 13 Thanks @Kio and @Jen581791 - I don't have the foggiest idea whether sugar alcohols affect my blood sugar, and I'm doing alright with keeping my total carbs low, so I think I'm going to keep on keeping on. Good to think about for the future, though! I really appreciate the context. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"I need fiber... but I shouldn't have fiber! But I NEED FIBER!" So net carbs kind of helps me avoid that endless loop in my brain. Exactly. I think it's a good way to prevent my crazy diet-brain from thinking things like this. I DO need fiber, and I don't want to avoid fiber because it's carbs. Which my crazy diet brain would have me do if I were counting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've done Atkins for so many years, I know how well counting net carbs works. Fiber and sugar alcohols don't impact my blood sugar like other carbs do. 1 Jen581791 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
