As I've said, there are sugar alcohols that are not counted toward net carbs... but if you are on induction (which I assume is the case), I would advise you to avoid them anyway. Sugar alcohols are the stuff you usually find in junk low-carb food, e.g. Atkins (& other) bars.NET CARBS = TOTAL CARBS - DIETARY FIBER"Get action. Seize the moment.

Re: Net carbs???
