so recently I had a question about sugar

alcohols that I wanted to create this

very short video so the question is

should you subtract sugar alcohol

sweeteners as your net carbs now

normally you would take the total carbs

on the back of the label and you minus

the fiber but you also minus the sugar

alcohols why because in theory this

doesn’t necessarily get absorbed in the

small intestine or raise the blood

sugars so so the thought is because

they’re not acting just like sugar we

can deduct those to get our net carbs so

the net carbs are what you’re operating

on on your calculations because you want

to keep your carbs between 20 50 grams

per day okay

well I disagree out of all the sugar

alcohols only one that is zero on the

glycemic index and that’s a wreath root

all so yes if you have a wreath throat

well as your sweetener definitely

deducted from the total carbs to get

your net carbs however xylitol maltitol

sorbitol these do produce some reaction

on the glycemic index it’s not

incredibly high and it’s a lot less than

actual table sugar and definitely

glucose but it’s not zero so for that

reason I would not recommend deducting

these in your calculations only a wreath

root all so that way you’re being a

little conservative and you’re probably

having more accurate numbers down here

now if you’re consuming stevia or monk

fruit you don’t have to worry about

these these are such a small amount of

calories and you do not have to factor

these into this equation at all

because they don’t spike insulin alright

guys there you have it that’s my

long-winded answer to a short question
