[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 176683, member: 31282"] I think I would call low carb anything less than 70g of carb a day. I try to eat no more than 50g, preferably below 30g, and I would call myself very low carb. As Crofty says, it's reducing carb foods until your meter says it's working. 'Eat to your meter' seems to be another watchword around here. I'm trying to lose weight by restricting carbs, as well as controlling my BGs, so I may be eating fewer carbs than my body would be able to tolerate. However, it seems to be working! Whatever works for you, I guess . . . but someone quoted the RDA as being 290g of carb per day, so anything less than 150g of carb probably qualifies as low! I hope I haven't confused the issue too much ! :wink: Viv :) [/QUOTE]
