Carb counting - advice needed!

[HollowTalk]

I'm just about to buy a salad in M&S. On the label it says in 100g there are:

12.8g carbohydrates
of which sugars: 4.6g
Fibre 6.1g

On a website I've been looking at, it says about carbs that the fibre can be deducted from the number of carbs.

Here.

Does anyone know anything about this? In the above example, how many carbs should I count?

12.8

The more sugar, the more cravings you may get for carbs, but if you’re trying to keep a carb below a certain amount, count the lot.

That's what I thought, but I was confused by the label on the link.

Trying to keep a carb COUNT below...

I know. Some diets do take away one from the other but I never find it works effectively.

Have you lost much weight on low-carb, @tissuebox?

Years ago I went from size 14 to a 10-12 in a few months by low carbing. Then after pregnancy I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid and it’s the only way I can keep my weight down.

@HollowTalk it's only American labels that include fibre in the carb count.

So that salad is 12.8g carbs.

Thanks, @BIWI. I assumed it was that, it was just confusing.

Don't take any notice @HollowTalk - Alice is a spammer. Three posts this afternoon all linking to that site.

Alice’s post links to nothing to do with carb counting anyway!

Please don't click people, it’s just some faddy crap!

You are spamming because you're jumping on all the weight loss threads with the same bloody link!

And those are the only posts you've made, apart from this one trying to deny you're a spammer.

No way are you trying to help 'the community'
