Just out of curiosity... Those of you with big losses and who watch carbs... How many grams do you allow yourself per day?

I don't count carbs, but I do limit them. Mainly naturally, since I do stick to the "protein first" rule 95% of the time. The other day I had two little wedges of pita bread with skordalia (potato) dip/spread before I ate my low carb greek salad with grilled chicken. So, I'm not perfect by any means, but I am happy with my loss: 47 lbs since surgery, 77 altogether.

I keep mine to 20 grams or less.

I average about 30 grams a day.

I limit my carbs to under 50 grams per day. My caloric intake is 800-1000 and protein 100+ per day.

I have had above average loss and carbs are my friend Good carbs! Protein is my best friend though so only when I have room.

I do 60 or less.

My NUT said at 600 calories I can have 40. I am doing 20-30. I cannot function on less than 20. My brain stops working. But they are nasty little devils and for me, eating carbs makes me hungry for carbs so I have to strike a balance. My balance seems to be about 25.

I average about 700 calories a day under 20 carbs...3 1/2 months out down 86 total.
