[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1657004, member: 408573"] As to carbs per day that is a personal choice and a meter helps you decide on a number. Low carb is considered anything under 130g per day but it depends on you and your meter to decide where you are comfortable. I would start off at that number then gradually reduce it over a number of weeks while you are learning which foods spike your levels. I lowererd my number of carbs way too fast and suffered for it. It is a learning curve when we first start off on any dietary changes. Once you have decided on an amount of carbs then you look at the food labels which will tell you how many carbs per 100g are in that food and we generally aim for 10g or fewer per 100g of weight. Be mindful that some labels quote carbs in terms of servings so you may have a further calculation there. I have to say here that the advice I have given you in my comments relates to the LCHF lifestyle. This is not everyone's choice of approach and there are other regimes to choose from such as The Blood Sugar Diet, The Newcastle Diet etc. LCHF (Low Carb High Fat) suits a lot of people and thousands have had success with it but the choice is yours. If you are a fan of Youtube then there are a lot of lectures and presentations on the science of LCHF. Search for Low Carb Down Under and Low Carb Breckenridge for starters. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
