This statement makes no sense. It isn't the number of calories that has to do with how fast or slow a body digests these. It has to do with the actual chemical structure of the compound and what the body has to do to convert them enzymatically into a form the body can get into cells to burn

But I am put off by the prominent "net carb" labeling too - if you read around this forum, there are many who feel that such products are not the same as eating a 2 total carb healthy fresh veggie in terms of effect on weight loss! My sense is that Dr. Atkins is no longer (and even wasn't when he was still alive) in control of the commercialization of his ideas.
