Net Carbs vs Total Carbs: Essential Guide for Parents of Children on the Ketogenic Diet for Epilepsy
Net Carbs vs Total Carbs: What You Need to Know 🍽️
If your child follows the ketogenic diet for epilepsy, it’s important to understand:
➡️ Total carbs = all carbs in a product.
➡️ Net carbs = the carbs that affect blood sugar (total carbs minus fiber and sugar alcohols).
For the ketogenic diet, always count net carbs. In some countries, net carbs are listed on labels, but in others (like the US), you may only see total carbs. Be sure to check labels carefully!
