GD and counting carbs

greycoral · October 2009

Do you count total carbs, or net carbs?? I had some cauliflower tonight, and it's a little high for carbs, but it also has a good amount of fiber in it too, so just curious...

It depends on what your dietician/nutritionist/doctor told you. Some count net, some count total.

I was told to count total.

Yeah, I count total carbs. Don't take fiber into account.

I was told to count total carbs, but I was also told that certain foods I can be lenient on, such as cauliflower. Meaning even though it's high carb I shouldn't neccesarily avoid it
