Hi Kirsty,

The carbs in the fibre are not absorbed by the body so no, you don't need to count them.

Dr Atkins explains it on page 77 of the latest edition of his book.

Kirsty, I see you haven't yet read the book. I can't stress strongly enough to you just how helpful it is to not only read the book through before you start, but also to have it handy as a resource.

Cheers.
