Hi was just wondering if anybody else has or is having a problem with this...My Dr. said i'm eating good only 1 cup of food but now im only able to eat 16 grams of carbs a day for 2 weeks than i can move up to 20 for the next 2 weeks than back to the dr. to see if some weight is coming off... only only down 24 pounds in 8 months

It is common for doctors in the US to suggest low carb to start. This would help to get the metabolism going again and break a carb addiction cycle that may be affecting blood sugar. Also it helps to stear you away from low-quality carbs which are highly processed. To stay under 16 carbs a day, most of your carbs are going to have to come from vegetables and a tiny amount of fruit. It sounds like the doctor will be adjusting your carb levels as you go based on how well you are losing, this makes sense to me.

Carbs aren't all that matters. How many calories are you getting in a day? Maybe you're not getting ENOUGH.

My dr said i should stay around 1100 calories a day and i was doing fine with all that even the food i was eating was good but with the 45 grams of carbs a day might be wants tooo much for me....im sure hoping this works and gets things moving.....thanks for all the repiles shannon

It was white carbs that got us all into the position we are in and cutting out white carbs will get us out of that position.

I maintain well by limiting WHITE carbs to 20gms daily, but I eat unlimited veggie carbs. It took me a long time to realize that there is absolutely nothing in flour or sugar that is healthful to the human body.

I couldn't agree more. You made an excellent point Wasa.:wub:

Well my doctor also wants me to eat daily 70 gram of protein and 30 grams of carb. However, I've only had fill and there is little restriction. Therefore I do eat maybe 2 cups of food at lunch and dinner (combination of meat, tofu and vege). However, the carb from the eggs, non-starchy vege and tofu add up to 65 gram per day. Sometimes I wonder if I am eating way to much tofu and vege.
