[StephenP]

if you going to asda check out cranberry mixer by the tonic water its mega with vodka or on its own no carbs to

 

[StephenP]

yeah well good most of there range is dont bother with the brands

 

[StephenP]

just check the back for details the madrass fine and vindaloo tikka little high just take the fibre off the carb value i am sure you know

 

[LVLLM]

Ooh the cranberry soounds lush x thankyou x

 

[ditzeeblonde]

In the UK we don't deduct fibre from the carb count... thats only for the US. You just count the total carb figure on the back... unless its an american product (atkins bars & the like)

 

[StephenP]

in the us the fibre is allreadty took off took can ask jim he will say the same as me

 

[StephenP]

in the new atkins book it say to do this as in the uk fibre is always on the back of products

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Its the other way round Stephen.. b'coz the fibre is not listed under the carbs (like of which sugars) it means it has already been deducted. So in the UK we only count the carb figure.. otherwise you are taking it off twice.

In the US labels show fibre listed straight underneath the carbs which is why is deductable to get a total net carbs figure. x

 

[ditzeeblonde]

The new atkins book is written for the american market which is why its so confusing for us in the uk...

 

[StephenP]
