Sounds like a great recipe, I'm gona add it to my list of things to try.

I'm trying to understand the difference between "carbs" and "net carbs".

I found this:

"For low-carb dieters, fiber carbs don't really count as carbs. For example, a 1-cup serving of cooked broccoli provides 11.2 grams of total carbohydrate and 5.1 grams of fiber for a net carb contribution of 6.1 grams."

Sounds like cheating.. for example my flax meal has nearly equal amounts of carbs and fiber, dies that mean it counts as nothing and I can eat all I want?
