Eat Healthier

Low Carbohydrate and Low-net Carbohydrates are specifically better for those on sugar restricted diets and those on low carbohydrate weight loss diets.

to explain this as simply as possible...

There are two types of carbohydrates, simple and complex. Both of these convert into sugar and are infused into the bloodstream as they are digested.

The single-moleculed simple carbohydrates need very little digestion and infuse rapidly into the bloodstream causing the pancreas to secrete insulin in large quantities to metabolize this sugar overload. This in turn causes the fat we eat to be stored instead of being used as body fuel. The double-moleculed complex carbohydrates need to be fully digested, therefore sugar is infused into the bloodstream at a much slower rate. This in turn causes much less insulin to be secreted in order to metabolize these gradual small doses of sugar, and in turn causes the fat we eat to be used as body fuel instead of being stored.

In other words the insulin is the problem, so we should eat foods that dont cause its activation. The insulin blocks the fat we eat from being used as fuel to run our body, and instead causes it to be stored on our hips and in our arteries.  Diabetics, because they cant produce insulin, want to also eat foods that dont cause its activation

When we eat complex and simple carbohydrates together this mixture slows down the digestion rate of the simple carbohydrates, therefore the sugar infusion rate is also slowed. Products produced with a mixture of both these carbohydrates, according to the proportions used, net out some or all of the simple carbohydrates. That is what net carbohydrates are. Two-net carbohydrates means enough complex carbohydrates in the mixture to net out, for all practical purposes, all but two of the simple carbohydrates.
