Hey all!
Ive tried to do my research on lcd. I just seem to get contradicting info. Im looking for feedback from others who have had success with low carb. My goal is to lose weight. Im 31 and looking to drop 25 lbs.
*did you count calories while cutting carbs?
*how many carbs did u have per day?
Thanks for any personal feedback in advance

I have been keto (very LCHF) for a bit over a year.
I counted calories and carbs. I was at 1500kcal and losing 2-3 lbs per week, which was great because I was going for 1.5 lbs per week.
I had about 20g of carbs per day while losing. Now I am closer to 30-40g, but I am on maintenance and my carb intake goes up a bit in the summer. My macros were 5% carbs, 20% protein and 75% fat. I follow that very roughly now.
Try the Low Carber Daily group for more low carbers. Good luck.1 -
Was that 20g net carbs?0

No. Total. I've never bothered with net. My carbs are only veggies and nuts, and low GI veggies at that so I already know they have a lot of fibre. Many like to go with net though.
Today I had a HUGE salad, some nuts, a couple big strawberries and cheese for my carbs.2 -
Thanks so much!!0

When it comes to carb consumption and weight loss, my body tends to react optimally around 150g. Anything below that I'll feel like poop and won't be able to perform at my best. And anything above I'll feel bloated. I think it's different for everyone. You have to play around and find that sweet spot.1
