    Wow! That's really low! I did low carb about three years ago, and tried not to go over 50g per day. I was using the George Stella cookbooks, which I love, and still use some of the recipes now. One thing I did love about low carb is that the first place I noticed a drastic difference (and very quickly) was around my middle.

    I think the carb allowance they give on this site is outrageous! And I notice that some people are eating up to 300g per day! I lowered my allowance to 150, and will keep trying to lower that, but I don't think I can do 20g at this point!

    Hi,

    I'm pre-diabetic and I'm doing low carb. I agree, the carb allowances on this site is outrageous. I was doing between 60-70 g a day, but my sugars were bottoming out. I started a new med and my endocrinologist suggested I take my carbs up to 100 to get better sugar balances. I lost 6 lbs right off the bat, but now its starting to creep up, so I'm moving the carbs down. Some days I blow it completely and have to start all over the next day. I like this site b/c each day is a brand new start.

    Good Luck fellow low carbers!!

    I would be looking at that Endocrinologist sideways.............

    It doesn't take long with low carb for blood sugars to go low and meds need to be adjusted. The whole point should be to get off meds, not up the carbs to stay on the meds.

    I have switched doctors for less stuff than that. I want to live naturally and med free.

    This is the things I am talking about with the doctors being in the pockets of the Big Pharma companies...........They try to keep our carbs up and up because they can keep us on meds that way.

    I started adjusting my meds myself until I weaned myself off them completely...........

    I was a full blown Diabetic with an A1C of 8.8% a couple years ago.................I am now down to having an A1C of 5.8% and trying to get it down to around 5.2 - 5.4% or lower.................
