Many on this site say they are more successful getting thru stalls and losing in general when they eat low carb. But what is that exactly? 20 carbs? 45? Thanks for your insights!

Well, the general guidelines I got from my doc for my day to day diet includes 10% of total calories can be carbs: 800 calories = 80 carbs. I stalled big time at 3 weeks out. Lasted for six weeks. I finally started by cutting my carbs in half, then I just kept lowering them until I started losing again. It may be a different number for everyone. I think 30 is generally considered low, Although, when i was on an Atkins type diet, 30 was outrageously high. So...do what your body responds to within the bounds of your medical advice. Also, I increased cardio and cut out weights.

I've excelled my weightloss going no carb...but my weightloss manual said to keep servings at 20 grams or less per serving

Every time I cut my carbs way back to 20-30 I stall.Only eating normal,small portions of healthy Proteins and veg makes me lose weight steadily.Crazy thing is I am practically a professional low carber...and it just doesnt work for me now.

Having said that my carbs are still between 50-60 only.

xxo

I'm early...only 13 days out. But my NUT and my surgeon both recommended keeping carbs under 30g a day. I'm aiming for 600-800 cal/day, but only getting in about 500 now.

Thank you everyone. I appeciate your wisdom, knowledge,and experience.
