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.

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).

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! :)

I have no carb restrictions - but if you follow post-op guidelines it's pretty hard to get them that high!!

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!

Are you all saying 50ish grams of carbs per DAY or per SERVING?

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

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
