I am having trouble because it seems that's all I want. Mostly bread.

Jut wondering what have you all tried to get over it.

I am not craving anything but I do count count carbs everyday, I try not to get more than 20. Plus i'm scared to eat breads and potatoes.

For me I say 20 or 30.

Bread scared me at first right after surgery. My surgeon said only have toasted bread etc. and when I had some pasta it did not set right in my pouch. So I only have bread and pasta very rarely. I can and don't have a problem eating potatoes But I do watch my carbs too !!

I was told if we want to stay in ketosis that we should have less than 50 carbs a day. I an 2 1/2 months out and average 30 carbs a day

I ate a 1/2 of baked potato from Wendy's with no problem. It's a great emergency food if you are stuck away from home w/I food or snack.

_{wendys chili is a great pick when in a pinch!}

Hey also have grilled chicken ask for no bun.

I like the saying the lady from the world according to egg face uses... premium pouch space is for protein. Limit the carbs... it does not help with weight loss at all. Cravings are all in the mind. Do not let eating consume your mind like it has done to so many of us in the past.

I keep it below 50, (almost all my carbs come from fruit and veg, I rarely eat any bread or potato) but keep in mind it depends on the amount of calories and exercise you are doing. I think the best way would be to figure out the percentage of your total intake that should be carbs, sugars and protein. I am not sure what that should be, but it makes more sense then a random number that does not take into consideration the amount of calories etc that you are intaking.
