the atkins counts of net carbs do not include sugar alcohols (maltitol etc) which they believe have no or a minimal impact on blood sugar levels and so are taken away from the carb count (as well as the fiber content of the food)
So Net Carbs = Total Carbs - Fiber - Sugar Alcohols.
It is a max of 20g of net carbs a day that Atkins people follow
