  • NEGATIVE NET CARBS??

    i once heard that the celery stalks have negative calories for the time we spend chewing them.... but then i think i found yesterday something with negative carbs, but i am not sure as i cannot find in their website more info.
    The item is called SCANDINAVIAN RYE BREAD
    I live in greece and the nutrition data is in greek so i am not sure is true, but is the following:

    In each 100g

    Fibre 42.10 g
    Carbs 29 g
    Fat 5.30 g
    Metals 6.1 g
    Protein 14.90 g
    Calories 223

    Did anyone find this product in their country?
    Do you have the same details in the label?

    Their website is : www.ggnorway.no

    Have a nice day !!

    In some countries (like UK if I'm not mistaken), the total carb count already has the fiber pre-subtracted.

      It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




      I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

        That's right.
        If the fibre is listed seperately - not directly underneath the carbs it means it has already been deducted and the carbs figure is for NET carbs.
        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
        Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

            I thought so also... but i found it very very strange... and sometimes translation in labels are not correct... and i also did not know that if fibre is written separated then is already deducted... but they are quite tasty and is the healthier i've found so far here...

            thanks

                Yeah those are not correct, and are not 'negative carb' foods.

                CMcole has a fantastic spreadsheet posted with carb counts that even lists what level of Atkins the food is allowed in.



                Hope this helps.

                  Usally the labels show the fiber and the carbs are listed with the fiber alreay subtracted.

                    The list of my foods should be correct -- but notice, that it's quantities per 100 gram.
                    Thank you very much for CMcole's spreadsheet!!!! :icondance

                      GG Scandinavian Fiber Crispbread is a traditionally baked crispbread from Scandinavia. Still produced in Norway, GG Crackers are a slow-baked, thick and hearty cracker. Made from three ingredients – wheat bran, rye flour and salt, each cracker contains 4g of fiber.


                      SORRY FOR THE MISTAKE

                      they write it has 0 net carbs ??? :confused
                      but still does not seem to be logical than bread has no carbs...

                      have a nice day !! :icondance
