Natural Bran

[DivineAphrael]

Yesterday In the supermarkey I bought something called Natural Bran, just the bran from wheat I think

Reading the Nutritional Info it contains 8.9g carbs and 10.4g of fibre. Am I okay to add this to my diet as and when because the fibre cancels out the carbs?

Re: Natural Bran

The book says you can have a tablespoon of bran on a salad or something during induction IF you are constipated. Otherwise it would be a thing for the grains rung.

Aside: I love the 'Natural' Bran!! What is Unnatural Bran???? Marketing speak is funny!!

Re: Natural Bran

Be careful....from the way you write, I'm guessing you're from the UK. If so, the UK labels their products differently than the US.

From what I understand, in the UK and some parts of Europe, the total carbs listed are the "net carbs".

Re: Natural Bran

Megs is right, outside the USA most countries dont count fibre as a carb in the total carbs section of the label, so our carb count on packets and jars is already the net carb number to take account of.
