i have had a trainer in the past who put me on a diet where you have 100g of carbs a day ~25g at each of 4 meals, 4 hrs apart. good sources are oatmeal (1/2 cup), ezekiel bread (2 slices-- they have good cinnimon raisin bread that can help with a sweet tooth), 1/2 cup cooked rice, 1 6oz potato, 2 oz uncooked Pasta.

aviod fruits and juices.

i think anythin 100g carbs or less is considered low carb. it has even been done with fast food (watch the movie Fat Head).

good luck!

oh also, Fiber is often added to g carb on labels, so you can often subtract the g fiber from g carb to know the true carb count.

I also was told about a 100 a day it's not a lot when you look at it

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
