Correction : Your short walks contribute to better health.

And it's not just fiber that you subtract to get your net carbs, you also subtract sugar alcohols which are used to sweeten some "sugar free" products.

While not all sugar alcohols are created equally (since some of them do have a glycemic index)

Sugar Alcohols are derived from natural sugars found in fruits and veggies and used to sweeten a number of products. Check out the Atkin's products - use sugar alcohols extensively to come to their net 1 or 2 carbs.

There is quite a few of them (can be identified on the ingredients list because they all end in "tol", as in Erythritol (GI of 1), Sorbitol (GI of 5) and Xlitol (GI of 12) the three most common with the first two causing "no sugar rise in MOST diabetics".

But you must be careful because others like Maltitol used to sweeten some "sugar free syrups" have a GI of 35. So great if you don't want rotten teeth, but play havoc with your blood sugar.

So while both fiber and sugar alcohols must be included on the "total carbs" for a product, because fiber (and some of the sugar alcohols) is absorbed either not at all or super slowly (over hours), you get to subtract both from the total carbs to get your net carbs.

And that is why the dieticians preach eating more fruit and veggies over more refined starches and sugars. The fiber in the fruit/veggies helps reduce the net carbs and thus the sugar spike.
