Net carbs is another name for carbohydrates that are processed as dietary carbohydrates by the body's systems.
The net carbs have a direct impact on your blood sugar. To determine your intake, you subtract the grams of fiber, glycerine, sugar alcohols from the number grams of carbs you have eaten. The net carb is what is left. This is the count you use on such things as the Atkin's diet. You need to know why fiber is not counted as a carbohydrate. Fiber does not turn into sugar in your system, so it doesn't act as a sugar load in your body. For instance, if a bread has 27 carb grams and 3 fiber grams, you have net carbs of 24 grams. The fiber actually cancels out the fat, gram for gram.
