Question To count Net Carbs or not to count... (?)

I've been on atkins several times before and never counted net carbs because it wasn't part of the diet then... but this time around I have read all about the net carbs and why fiber and sugar alcohols should be subtracted etc. But today a good friend of mine said she read on the atkins site that they are thinking about going back to the old way... to count all carbs again.
So my question is this... do you count net carbs? Do you think if I only counted the total carbs then I'd lose weight faster or more efficiently? I'm really confused on this now. Maybe by counting net carbs that is why my weightloss is so slow this time... I thought it was because I've done so much dieting in the last few years. So I'm just curious who believes in Net Carbs and who still counts the old way??? Any info and advice would be appreciated. TIA
