So you're watching your carbs. Be aware that not all get in the front door. Some can sneak in your diet diet.
Nutritionist Robyn Webb warns that undercover carbs can sabotage your best weight-loss efforts.
'They add fillers, which are carbohydrates. So, you are looking at some foods that are mostly processed foods that typically you think are really not carbohydrates,' Webb said.
Take dairy products: An 8-ounce glass of milk has 14 grams of carbohydrates. A cup of fat-free yogurt could have 30 carbs. That's your entire daily allotment of carbs in the Assessment Phase of the Metabolic Diet.
A protein-packed egg has 2 carb grams. But, switch to some processed egg substitutes and the carb count soars to 8 grams each.
Studies show the average American eats out four times a week. But restaurant food can be loaded with undercover carbs. Things like ketchup and barbecue sauce are full of sugar and very high in carbs.
It's almost impossible to avoid all carbohydrates in your diet. A tiny carrot has 1 gram. A cup of black coffee has a gram and a half. Even if you read labels, it can be confusing!
Total carbohydrate count breaks down into three categories: fiber, sugar alcohols and net carbs. Your body quickly eliminates the first two, but those net carbs stick around in your body. However, eat too many total carbs and the pounds could pile on.
A low-carb sandwich wrap has only 10 grams of net carbs. Read carefully and you'll see a total carb count of 22 grams. That's a big difference. Nutritionist Claudia Morrison said beware of low-carb products that base their claim on just net carbs.
'The thing is, you want to have less of the refined carbohydrates or the processed carbs, the white flour, the white rice, that type of thing,' Morrison said.
Carbohydrate labeling can also be inaccurate. The federal government doesn't regulate the claims about net carbs. For dieters like Terri and Jen Gerhartz, uncovering hidden carbs can really make a difference.
To help track the carbs in your diet, use the Metabolic Diet nutritional lookup tool. For those on the Radical Diet, the ebook provides a handy guide of the carb content of the 'allowed foods'.
