hi there,

Actually, in the UK ... the fiber grams have already been subtracted. The total carbs listed is what you should count. Polyols and glycerine are different, and the general recommendation is that you don't need to include those in your carb totals.

For more information about carb counting, fiber grams and label reading in the UK, check out this post in our UK forum.

Just a note ... candies and foods with polyols are not permitted during the 2-week Induction period. Some of the low-carb protein bars with glycerine, such as Atkins Advantage are permitted, but proceed with caution as these are known stallers for many folks.

hth,


Doreen
