Default Australian carb labelling

Hello, can someone please comfirm this for me?

In Australia the 'total carb' count already excludes the fibre.


I'm going to be in the Gold Coast in Jan/06 to visit my brother and family and I want to be sure I'm reading the labels correctly.
Also any hints about where to find carb friendly items in the Southport area would be great.

Anyone a Curves member?? I plan on visiting one there.

Thank You
Cheers Kathy

Yes, Kathy, the carb counts here do exclude fibre. Same in New Zealand and the UK.

You can find some Atkins products in the big supermarkets here - Coles and Woolworths definitely, but possibly smaller ones also.
All supermarkets here carry Splenda tablets. I suggest you stock up. Each Splenda tablet is equivalent in sweetness to 1 teaspoon of sugar, and has 0.075carbs. They crush easily (2 spoons work well) for baking.
There is a GNC Livewell store at Helensvale - not far from Southport.

Here is a list of Gold Coast gyms. I don't know if "Muscle & Curves Fitness Centre" is the same as "Curves?"

Anyone have more ideas?

Thanks for the link

No worries on the slpenda tablets, I don't use any sweetener in my tea or coffee.
I'm getting pretty darn excited
