How do you work out what amount of carbs to start on?

[QUOTE="NR, post: 2079397, member: 474407"] I decided that it would have to be all or nothing, so opted to keep a food diary (other half made me a class database with clever formulae to do compound dishes - carbs kept below 50g) and cut out all cereals (except small bowl porridge made with water), bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, cakes, biscuits, puddings (except plain Greek yoghurt and 10 blueberries) and alcohol. Root veg such as carrots, parsnips, celeriac only in small quantities but masses of mixed leaf salads, cucumber, courgettes and green veg., interesting cheeses and varied small quantities of meat. Lentils, chick peas, eggs and nuts for vege protein. And 2 squares of dark chocolate for a daily snack..mmmmm! I really missed chocolate cake and biscuits to start with but the benefits to energy levels, weight loss, smaller clothes size (back to 12/14 yay!)and, of course, digestive performance ( to be polite about it!) I just wish I’d known all this earlier! Thanks to all on this forum btw. [/QUOTE]
