I'm only in my 4th week, so certainly don't consider myself an expert. (BTW I do alternatives too). But I took the Dr.'s comments in that one video to mean that we deduct fibre... so we're looking at the daily net carb count needing to be within 25-40 carbs/day. Otherwise I don't see why he would have even discussed fibre as it relates to daily carb count in that video.
PEIsland Girl, I'm wondering whether you saw the 'Extra Credit' video on that section... it's a second video clip where they're still talking about Restricted & Unrestricted IP Foods and the Dr. discusses how the fibre content of some foods isn't digested, etc, and therefor can be subjected from the overall carb count? Just in case you missed it, you can go back into that same video clip and while you're on the same webpage scroll down -- you'll see another video there under a heading called 'Extra Credit'. It's easy to miss if you don't scroll down.
