Question How are fiber carbs counted? Help

I had to get some extra fiber, so I bought some of the sugar free kind that tastes like Tang gone bad. Anyway, it has 5 carbs in it! If I am only supposed to have 20 in a day, how can I afford to take it. I NEED something. It sounds like I need to get some of the Stuffers candy instead!

I really something to help with this situation. How can you lose weight if you don't go...?

I need something to get things moving, but I don't want to waste any carbs. I want to see more results. I am on day 10 of Induction. I have lost a little over 5 pounds, and I wonder if I could lose more if I was going to the bathroom more often.

Fiber carbs are subtracted. So if your 'tang gone bad" contains 5 carbs, 4 of which are from the actual fiber, you can subtract 4 carbs

I bought the Walmart brand of the orange flavored metamucil. It is sweetened with aspertame, which stalls me, so I am going to need to try to find something else.
