Can I subtract the fiber content from the total carbohydrate count?

NoCarbZone - FAQ
Yes, most agree that the fiber content counted on the total carbohydrate portion of a nutritional label can be subtracted from your daily carb count, since it is indigestible and does not play a part in raising your insulin level. For instance, a half of cup boiled and drained spinach has about 3.4 grams of carbohydrates. It also has 2.2 grams of fiber. The net carb count would be only 1.2 grams.

Should I subtract the fibre grams on the label?

FAQ - LowcarbOz
Fibre grams are, by definition, not digestible, so they should not form part of your carb count. But the USA has different rules from the UK & Australia / NZ, so: If the label is from the USA - yes - subtract the 'fiber' grams from the 'total carbohyrdrate' grams to get the right carb count. If the label is from the UK, Europe, Australia, NZ - NO - do not subtract the carb grams, cos they've already been subtracted for you.

Will I get enough fiber on a low carb plan?

Low Carb FAQ
If you are eating a lot of processed foods and very few fruits and veggies, you are probably not getting enough fiber now! Most people get their fiber from bread, pasta, cereals, fruits and veggies, but if you read the labels on most of the foods you eat you will see that the processed foods contain very little fiber. Since most of these foods will be eliminated on a low carb way of eating you will need to rely more heavily on getting fiber from fruits and vegetables.

Why don't you count calories, fat, carbs, fiber etc.?

No Weight Gain Cookbooks / Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We've all been programmed to believe that losing weight and regaining good health has to be done through complicated diets, which include counting everything. This is no way to live. It is very discouraging, time consuming, and emotionally draining to count calories etc., weigh foods or do all the complicated things most diets require. All that I have accomplished for myself was not done through eating by numbers.

Do you count fat, carbs or fiber?

Kath Eats Real Food & FAQs
I don’t specifically count fat, fiber, protein, and sugar content per day, but I definitely do keep these in mind. I avoid foods heavy in saturated fat and of course anything high in sugar, such as sweetened yogurt (although I have them on occasion). I don’t count carbs at all, but I do try to eat a balance diet with a little protein, whole grains, and fat at every meal. I try to have fruit, veggies, grains, a protein and dairy at most of my meals.

Answer: Micro fiber is a revolutionary thread, comprised of wedge-shaped polyester filaments and a core of nylon. Made of both oil-attracting and water-attracting polymers, the fibers are woven into masses of tiny "hooks & loops." The sharp edges of these millions of "hooks & loops" cut through dried-in stains, attracting and absorbing dirt and micro particles.

Well that just begs the question: How do you get so much fiber in there?

FiberGourmet - The first healthy, reduced calorie noodle !
We replace half of the flour with resistant starch, which your body cannot digest. Resistant starch is a fiber which occurs naturally in many foods, such as bananas and potatos, and is already a significant (but often unacknowledged) source of fiber for many people. Not at all! Resistant starch has the taste, texture, mouthfeel, and even color of the standard starch you know and love - but none of the calories. But don't take our word for it - try some for yourself.

Can I add the total page count to a report?

DataVision FAQ
No. DataVision does not know how many records or pages there are in the report when it is outputting data. That means there is no way to add "Page X of Y" to your report. Even if DataVision did count the number of records, calculating the number of pages would involve outputting all of the records first, because the number of pages depends upon the amount of data in each field.

In the book you recommend Light Whole Wheat bread. Is it light because it is low-carb, high-fiber?

Tanya Zuckerbrot, MS, RD
What makes a bread “light” is that it has less than 40 calories per slice. But also look for bread that has at least 3g of fiber per slice. In The F-Factor Diet book, there are recommended breads on pages 260-261. Yes, there is a typo on page 91. Carrots should NOT be on the starchy vegetable list. They are in fact on the non-starchy vegetable list that are considered free foods. So feel free to eat all the carrots you want :)! The intent is for you to eat a container of the Fage (5.
