[QUOTE="badcat, post: 1585566"] Very much depends on your individual metabolism, the level of carbs you are currently eating, what you replace carbs with etc etc. Some people need to go ketogenic (under 20g carbs) others manage fine on general low carbohydrate (under 130g carbs a day); some people tolerate higher fat and protein levels than others - everyone needs to find the individual balance that works for their body, for me at 60+ yrs, overweight but not obese and 20+ years into diabetes its 40-50g carbs to keep sugars good, to lose weight I also need to limit calories - as I say tho everyone is different and individual tolerance can change over time My advice would be start with around 100g of carbs a day for a week initially, use a meter to check the impact that is having on your sugars and scales to check the impact on your weight. If your sugars are still running higher than you want and / or your weight isnt changing then drop carbs again until you find a level that gives good glucose control and some weight loss. Id take it down by increments of 10-15g carbs a day for a week at a time and keep monitoring sugars and weight throughout Id also suggest ditching all "empty carbs" ( highly processed, high sugar, etc) and concentrating on lower glyceamic load, naturally occuring carbs [/QUOTE]
