Net carbs = digestible carbs, i.e. total carbs minus fiber. ↩
The fewer carbs, the more effective it appears to be for losing weight or reversing type 2 diabetes.

This is mainly based on the consistent experience of experienced practitioners, and stories from people trying different levels of carb restriction [weak evidence].

There is not yet any RCT that has actually tested two low-carb diets of varying strictness head-to-head. But RCTs of strict low-carb diets appear to often show better results, compared to RCTs of more moderate or liberal low-carb diets.

This makes logical sense: if something has an effect, doing more of it often has a stronger effect.
