Induction phase: Net carbs or Carbs?

[MrsDRock]

I am in the Induction phase... I thought we were supposed to be looking at 20g net carbs/day, but when in low-carb cookbooks (Linda's Low Carb cookbooks, SugarFreeSheila.com recipes, FitDay.com), they all show Carbs.
Therefore, should I be going by net carbs or just carbs?
If the recipe shows # carbs, should I be using Atkins' Acceptable Foods list (on atkins.com) and measuring a separate count for net carbs?

It is net carbs... total carbs minus fiber grams. I am not sure if sugarfreeshiela or lindas site have totalor net carbs but I always figure out my own carbs for everything because certain things like cream cheese or mayo can vary in their carb counts. Hope that helps

I took fiber pills for a couple of weeks in early induction. I guess my body has adjusted now because I no longer need them I bought wal-marts equate brand because they have no sugar or anything but psyllium husks in them

I've always counted total carbs - just in case LOL

ESPECIALLY with anything that has sugars in it

But the BOOK does say count NET
