Great graphic! Thanks for sharing!

My plan is for 60-100 carbs/day and a min. of 100 grams of Protein.

Thank you! This is really helpful. I've entered the 6 mo. post op slump (no weight loss for 2 weeks). I will use this to refocus and start counting everything out again to get back on that weight loss journey.

Good luck to you!!

I am 13 months out and this would not work for me. I am still trying to lose and have to keep my carbs well below 50.

I'm sure it works for a lot of people but I bet there are a lot of people it wouldn't work for too.

Looks legit. My best results are certainly when I keep it between 50-100 grams. Still have good energy for the gym and loss still occurs.

Right outa the Paleo diet playbook.

Slight derail follows....sorry......

I know of few guys and a gal who are reaping the benefits of this. Only two of them are into it as fanatics.....embracing the marriage of Paleo + Crossfit. The others don't take it to the near cult-like level but really are doing well after eating more wholesome foods that aren't processed and full of extra additives/preservatives/etc.

Fresh outa the ground, off the vine, from the sea and on hoof. I can say with absolute sincerity that since being post-op I've been eating this way for the most part and I feel much better overall. Cutting out the diet sodas, chips, candy, pop tarts, Cereal, frozen Desserts and etc has been great. If I get the strong desire for something sweet......then some chilled seedless grapes or blueberries are the ticket and so much better tasting now than any of that other garbage was before.

I still use artificial sweeteners in coffee and the list of chemicals in my Protein powder and pre-workout drinks are not good. Areas to work on.

Anyway, cool chart. Thanks for posting.

Great chart. Thanks for sharing. My doctor says that we need at least 50 grams of carbs for good brain function. On a day when my exercise is lower, my goal is 50 grams. On a day when my exercise is high, my aim is 100 g of carbs. The number for weight maintenance is interesting.

Thanks for the info. :)

My dietician gave all her patients the same script of "Add carbs after 75% of weight loss" After my weight was down, I added two table spoons of whole wheat or plant based carbohydrates. I'm not complaining. I lost weight.

Crossfit+Paleo/Keto etc is great. I feel so fit and strong when I do Crossfit. I love how Crossfit is customized to everyone levels so everyone can be challenged but not left out. It is really a personalized unique experience.

I have definitely had to add some more carbs in just to get my calories up at this point. It is still hard for me to crack 50 carbs in a day. Most carbs I don't even like, plus I don't have room for them. It is a struggle.

Good stuff, there. It's awesome that you've found your stride with something that you enjoy.

If I wasn't currently nursing a few injuries I suspect I'd be searching out a tribe to join.

As it is I go it with my own routine and adjust for the POD (pain of the day), lol.

I had to stop because of the heat, just too hot to work out in the gym at the time I like to go. I am going to pick it back up in the Fall.

      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.
