Let's talk CARBS!

I know this is probably a question for a nutritionist, but I'm going to throw this out there:

I'm beginning to see a correlation between carbs eaten in a day and stalls or even gains. So my question is: how many carbs is "normal" now that I have a new, spiffy sleeve?

I know that with the Adkins diet, a 3 week period of 21 carbs/day was suggested.

Any ideas?

Each of us has a personal preference. I kept mine under 24 until week 12.. then I upped because I hit my first resting period.

Most track everything, so my thought is to track and see where your body is happy while still losing. Eventually you'll have to up them a bit just to keep yourself going.

At least you've given me a number! I seem to be jumping all over the place, as does my weight. I won't even have my next check up/in until 3/4, and I don't want to wait that long to have a good, solid number.

Yeah, I hear ya. I went as low carb as I did because I loved the Dukan Diet from years past. I'm not sure the average person is able to go as low carb as I did.

I would say, if you've done the low carb eating in the past, and you liked it then go back to that. I stopped only once I stopped losing weight. Then I reevaluated things and upped just a little.

I'm averaging around 33-45 carbs now per day. I'm 4 months post op next week.

My carbs tend to be about 50 per day. I'm truly not watching them all that much. I am more focusing on protein and then veggies. My carbs are coming from veggies, protein shakes, and vitamins.
