Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Hey, I'm back.

We're going to answer the question.

Does fiber cancel out your carbs, another question from someone?

Well, it doesn't cancel out all the carbs.

It reduces the effect that carbs have on your blood sugars for sure.

And there's a thing called net carbs, which basically you take the total carbs, we duck the

fiber, and we get the net carbs.

That's the calculation that we use.

And then you have something called the glycemic load, which is different in the glycemic

index, which tells you how much that carbohydrates are going to spike your blood sugars.

glycemic load is more of the quantity of carbs.

So if you have a food that's mostly fiber, for example, even though it's carbohydrates,

it's not nearly going to affect your blood sugars.

So we really want to take a consideration in the glycemic load, which I'll put a link

down below on a video specifically about that.

Okay, so let's just take celery, for example.

We'll take one stalk of celery, which comes out to 1.2 grams of carbs.

Okay.

It's actually pretty low.

Isn't it?
