How many carbs???????????



Recommended Posts

I have noticed that a lot you say that you either are eating low carb, or you comment that possibly someone should eat low carb, if they are not losing enough weight, but I cannot find anything that tells me what my limitations on carbs should be. I got packets of paper from my Dr and I cannot find anywhere in there, an estimate on where your carbs should be for a day. I know that all Dr's have different diets, but I was wondering what seems to work for you all.:whatchutalkingabout

My surgeon said no more than 100 grams of carbs daily. I also don't eat white carbs (sugar, flour, rice, bread & potatoes)

My doctor didn't give me any carb rules other than eating everything else first, which makes me quit eating before I get to them. But when I do count my carbs, I try to stay under 100 too.

My dietician, who specializes in wls, recommended 50-70g Protein and no more than 50g carbs a day. She said that when I am properly restricted, and when I eat the Proteins first, keeping the carbs down to 50g shouldn't be a problem unless I'm eating white carbs such as white bread and refined sugars.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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...

        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.
