Hi everybody,

After reading the relevant chapters in Atkins' NDR to get me started in induction, I'm now reading the book cover-to-cover. I just read the part about subtracting the fiber from the total carbs to arrive at a "net carb" or "countable carb" value. Here is my issue:

I was shocked to notice this morning that my sugar-free Metamucil has 5 total carb grams per serving! (and I was using two servings daily.) However, of these, 3 g is "dietary fiber" and 2 g is "soluble fiber." So...Which fiber value do I subtract from the total fiber value to arrive at my "countable" fiber for this product?

I was bummed to see the carb count so high, as I really need this stuff to help me stay regular (along with tons of water, of course). Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim
