Default Atkin bars and amount of carbs

I just finished my first week of induction and lost 2.5 pounds. I love the Advantage Atkin bars. There is fiber in them and I enjoy the flavor. Anyway, the box says 2 net carbs and I ate 1-2 bars a day. However, I recently read an article and other comments from this site stating that these bars are not good for induction. Furthermore, I plugged the numbers from the box into the carb calculator and it indicated that there are really 12 carbohydrates in each of these bars rather than 2. Looks like I've been eating more like 40 carbs a day rather than 20 or less. I see a major problem for the future when I start adding carbs to my diet. Should I count these bars as 2 carbs or 12 ? I'm going to limit them, but I still need to know how to count them.
Thanks,
Angie

They count as 2, this would be the carbs that affect your blood sugar.
