I have read on some lowcarb products that:

Effective Carb Count (ECC) is determined by subtracting those carbohydrates that have a negligible effect on blood sugar level from total carbohydrates. Examples include fiber and glycerine.

But I have also read on this message board that, for example lowcarb bars, that they stall weight loss. In one bar, on the label it contains 24g of carbohydrates but it is said effective carbs are 3g.

My question is: Should I consider that I am eating 24g of carbs or really 3g of carbs???? I am confused as to what I should be counting as carbs.

Any ideas?

Thanks
