cuteasabutton 19 Posted January 24, 2013 It think most would like you to keep it around 50 in the beginning . I think I broke my stall by keeping it under that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGamer 406 Posted January 24, 2013 My guidelines were no more than 100g a day, no more than 20g at a time. Do I ever come remotely close to it? Nope. Most days I'm in the 20-30 range on a daily basis, most of that from dairy sources (cottage cheese, yogurt). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VJSlim 156 Posted January 24, 2013 In my experience staying below 30 during the first 3 months had some great results. Then gradually increased it, but even now, I stay below 50 for a day. If I cross the carb count on a day, I make a concious effort to reduce the carbs the very next day. Good to shake things up a bit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveNZ 219 Posted January 24, 2013 I have no carb restrictions - but if you follow post-op guidelines it's pretty hard to get them that high!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's all new 453 Posted January 27, 2013 I aimed for 20-30, maximum 40 for the first 5-6 months. After that, I relaxed some (50+) so that I had more carbs to support my long workouts (2 and sometimes 3 hours per day). Now that I am pretty much at goal I am not counting carbs but just focus on Protein and let it fall into place from there. In addition, I stay away from the more processed carbs. By 8 months I was down a little over 110 lbs to my goal-ish. Turns out my goal is a moving target and it's been a harder decision than you might think! 1 Butterthebean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banned member 320 Posted January 28, 2013 150g is my max but that's only because I exercise 4-5 days a week and I'm still breastfeeding. I also don't drink caffeine so I can't do low carb because it makes me so tired and grouchy, who the heck wants to be around that lol I have 3 kiddos to take care of Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
