ShellMilliner 233 Posted September 2, 2015 No carbs? Is that the advice from your NUT or something you're doing? Personally, I'm allowed 40 grams of carbs a day. Which should be healthy, fruit or veggies although I do have an occasional couple crackers or slice of bread depending on my meal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamieLogical 8,713 Posted September 2, 2015 No carbs definitely seems extreme. I don't get *many* carbs, since I am always putting Protein first and aiming to reach my 100 grams/day of protein, but if my protein comes with some carbs, I will have them. Plus I do manage to fit in the occasionally treat. I was told by my NUT to never have JUST carbs, always have protein with my carbs, and always put protein first. So if I have a little toast, put Peanut Butter on it. Or have some tuna salad with my crackers... that sort of thing. I will say that I never eat rice or Pasta because they just take up too much room and I can't get my protein in if I have them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newbeginnings1965 48 Posted September 2, 2015 I found that 20-30 carbs did not make me feel well. I upped them to 40-50, still within my dr range. Mainly from fruits and veggies. Occasionally I will have a few rice cracker with guacamole or a wheat cracker with Peanut Butter. Talk to your NUT and request more carbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrystee 838 Posted September 2, 2015 Are you tracking? Maybe you can add a little sweet potato in for a complex carb. I stay under 50 a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soapandcandlequeen 124 Posted September 7, 2015 My NUT said to add back in carbs. Best decision I ever made. I have about 100 grams a day and losing steadily. Carbs are not the enemy of chose the right ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AngelaWilliamsMD 290 Posted September 11, 2015 I've been experimenting with my carbohydrate intake since my procedure, March 30th of this year. I had a lower starting BMI than most but found that the weight comes off quicker if I keep my carb count under 20 grams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
