[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1856722, member: 408573"] Anything below 150g/130g per day is considered lower carb. When you think that a 'normal' diet can have 250g + and sometimes a helluva lot more than that it gives you a little perspective. It helps to remember that you have to find a number that improves your readings and that you are comfortable with. Good luck. Edited to add. When lowering carbs per day remember to do it gently, don't do as I did and dive in feet first as this can cause 'Carb flu' also known as keto flu. This is an extremely unpleasant reaction to lowering carbs too much too quickly and while not dangerous (for those [I][B]not on bg lowering drugs or on insulin[/B][/I]) it can be misery inducing for a few days.
