    Reduce calorie intake to 1200-1300 calories per day... Carb intake should be 150 gms - 160 gms. Reducing carb intake improves insulin sensitivity and hence you'll be able to lose weight. Both are must.

    1200-1300 is usually for those who are elderly(female),sedentary,very short or a combo of the 3. and dropping carbs has nothing to do with weight loss. with a 1200-1300 calories that would for most people be a deficit, and thats all thats needed. carb and other micro amounts depends on the person and their satiety.also the more a person moves the more calories they will need. There is no recommended number on what carbs should be,it will vary from person to person and if they have a health issue leading to needing less carbs
