I have not seen homemade stock listed on any of the things I checked and read from the official Ideal site. Canned stock that is low or no sodium still has both calories and carbs.....are those of you making your own soups further along and in something other than phase 1?
My thoughts (disclaimer: I am NOT able to do a nutritional analysis of this)
The bone broth I make is made from a chicken carcass and some celery scraps. It would be 0 carb (or close), 0 sugar, and there is no fat to skim.
So, I use it as 0/0/0 and reading about bone broth I KNOW it is healthier than whatever residuals the food industry chooses to make their packaged broth from. My chickens are usually free- range and have been fed non-GMO feed (unless I'm super sick and pick one up at the grocery store on the way home)
If you make a veggie broth, I'm GUESSING you'll have residual carbs in the broth that will be hard to measure. But I know that some folks use veggies in their homemade broth and it hasn't seemed to slow any losses.
