Do I Count the Fiber Grams

I'm on Atkins induction and I need to know if I count the fiber grams as total grams. Example: 1/2 California avocado, total carbs 6.0, Fiber grams 2.35. Should I use 6 as the total or 3.65? Does this apply to all food items? Does this apply during induction? Please let me know as this really affects my totals.
Thank you,
MM

In his new book that came out in December of last year he is allowing the subtraction of fiber from carb totals.

So yes, use the 3.65 number.

Thank you Agonycat! I have the newest edition (I think) and didn't see that. I've made newcomer mistakes (believing labels) and I'm really trying here so I appreciate your help.
Regards,
MM
