Carbs - do you count 'total carbs' or 'what sugars'???

[ButtonsTheSuperCat]

looking at the nutritional information on products, they states total carbs and that which sugars, so it got me thinking, do you count the total or the net sugar value if you're counting carbs??? I know on the Atkins diet you count the net, but I'm not sure if that works in general diets for keeping in ketosis??

If youre on a vlcd you don't need to count carbs. Stick to the plan the way the manufacturers advise and dont over analyse
