My Health 
Iam watching my carbs and want to start drinking this Fitness supplement- but how many NET carbs are in it 3 or 5.5?
The Back of it Says
Total Carbohydrates 8g
Dietary Fiber 2.5g
Souluble Fiber 1.5
Insoluble Fiber 1g
I know Net carbs is Total Carb – Fiber.. But this is confusing

I would say 5.5 carbs – They are just explaining the breakdown of the fiber. Some labels are mislabeled or misleading and some flat out lie. Be wary of the portion size also, sometimes they claim the package contains several servings and you ate the whole thing. Below is a hidden carb calculator.
You can lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you’ll need added potassium). Keep your fat percentage high. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.
If you starve yourself, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn’t get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn’t slow your metabolism down to adjust for lower calories.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.
High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.
Reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass will have you in awesome shape in no time. Good luck!
