Hi everyone,
I need some info on how many carbs to eat per meal to lose weight. Found out recently I'm Type 2 Diabetic, I've got to cut the carbs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're planning to do LCHF, I would start by reading this:

A strict LCHF diet is 20g carbs per day, but some people adjust that over time based on their experiences.0 -
Hi, I too am a Type 2 Diabetic and I am going to a weight center in Charlotte, NC and the doctor put me on a LCHP diet. I have to stay at 50 carbs or under a day. I was having high sugar readings when I started this diet and I have been on the diet about a month and my blood sugar readings are much better already. The doctor I am seeing says that 50 carbs a day is a good starting point for me but I think that everyone is different but so far it is working for me. Good luck to you. I hope that you can find the right carb count for yourself.0

50 to start but work towards 20-30. It's easier than you think if you watch your labels. Atkins has a great free Carb Counting app, you might try that.0
