hey guys I want to do a quick video on  understanding net carbs in relationship  

to a ketogenic diet for those people that are new  to it let me just kind of explain what that means  

net carbs because normally we recommend 20 to 50  grams per day of carbohydrate but its net carbs  

okay not total carbs basically if you take the  total carbs minus the fiber and equals the net  

carbs that simple fiber typically has really no  response with insulin so if there’s in the US and  

Canada the way they calculate the total carbs they  will put in the fiber so you have to deduct it in  

other countries in Europe and I think Australia  they separate them out so you don’t have to do  

this calculation whatever you see is the total  carb is the net carb but if you live in the US or  

Canada you need to deduct the fibers to get the  net carb which makes a big difference so let’s  

take a look let’s say for example you have one cup  of any one of these foods celery for example the  

six celery total carbs is 3 grams right not  much fiber is one point six so the net carb  

is one point four grams so it’s one and a half  grams roughly which is so insignificant that’s  

never going to be an issue tomato 7 grams - 2.2  grams for the fiber equals four point eight grams  

a little bit more but not too bad hummus 35 grams  of total carbohydrate per cup - 15 grams of fiber  

equals 20 grams of net carb of course I doubt if  you’re going to consume a cup of hummus but you  

might but still you you would be within the normal  range of definitely carbon you aid in a given day  

an egg 0.6 grams of total carbs zero fiber equals  0.6 grams a net carb so it’s basically a half a  

gram that’s hardly its insignificant pineapple  22 grams of total carbohydrates 2.3 grams of  

fibre not very much so you’ve got 19 point 7  grams of net carb so always calculate in the  

net carb not the total carb thanks for watching  hi guys hey listen I created a pretty amazing  

evaluation quiz down below that actually analyzes  your symptoms to find the cause the root cause of  

all of your symptoms the most likely cause so  take the quiz now and we’ll send you a report
