I am so frustrated with trying to get my carb levels down my doctor recommends 60-80g carbs per day but it does not specify how I'm suppose to keep them that low. I am using Lose It! App to track my food intake. I know many of you use My Fitness Pal and maybe the tracking is different on that App. I know many of you say you keep your carbs as low as 40g a day or I have even heard 10g a day. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? For example did you know that one little apple has 25g carbs?? So what are you guys out there eating- MEAT only!? No fruits or veggies or whole grains?

I am just so scared I am going to fail at this :,(! I have not had a single "bad carb" for months so i know my high carb levels are not from that. Oh and my protein levels are fine usually 70g or more a day. What am I doing wrong? Are you fellow sleevers not counting the good carbs in the total carb count or what??

Not sure if that question is to me, but I'll answer just in case. Basically, I can only eat a few ounces at a time. My meals I eat mainly Protein which is basically carb free and then I snack on cheeses and I consider cottage cheese mixed with Greek yogurt as dessert. Like I said though, I can't eat much at all so sometimes it's just a few bites and I have to come back to it for a snack.

I don't have hunger or cravings or I'd eat other things I'm sure. So far I've lost my appetite for sweets.. Including ice cream, which I would eat by the tub full.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I have to just eat more meat and cheese haha.

Loseitsoon & kalimomof3 is that net carbs you are stating or total carbs? Thanks

Also is there a certain amount to which ones diet is considered "low Carb" like under 100g a day is in the low carb category or what classifies as being officially a "low carb" diet?

I am talking total carbs I use MFP to track my intake.Idk what classifies as "low carb" but anyone who does no carb or extreme low carb can lose weight and quickly. I know for a fact if I was able to eliminate 99% of my carbs in the first place I would not have needed surgery . I did not do this surgery to be no carb/extreme low carb for life

I try to keep my carbs down too. I eat meat cheese cottage cheese. I feel guilty eating

Carmel calcium cheese. I did slip and taste some

Icing this weekend but didn't continue.
