Low carb dieters??

I try and keep mine under 100g a day, but don't ever go under 50g. I read that maintenance was 150g, under was fat burning...seems to work for me. This is a life long choice, my body hates carbs. I've also upped my cardio (i'm not a marathon runner, I walk and do elliptical) and I eat full fats and high protein. I tried doing 20-30g a day, but I got way to irritated. I eat my carbs at night mostly because I work out at night. Good Luck, just do some research and see what works best for you.0

I love low carb! It's the only diet I've ever been able to stick with.
I start out with 20g a day for two weeks. Then slowly add in nuts and fruit and keep carbs under 40 for 2 more weeks. Then I tend to stay at about 50-60 for as long as possible. I lost 33 pounds in 20 weeks. Then last month I went on a 3-week sugar/carb binge, gained 10 pounds... and restarted induction (20g/day) a week ago. Going strong again!0 -
I'm T2 diabetic. I eat primal, and under 25g of carbs a day and have been under 25g for a year and a half. I don't eat wheat or grains, and my only carbs come from veggies, berries (the only fruit I eat) nuts and seeds. I am now 111 pounds lighter and love low carb. For me there is no better lifestyle especially when my HbA1c (I am in the UK) is between 4.9 and 5.1. I never eat anything processed and usually only one ingredient foods apart from Greek yogurt and cheese. I love being in ketosis I feel wonderful. I am heading toward my 50's and feel better than I did all through my thirties and early 40's.0

T2 diabetic here also. I find that my body can tolerate 80-90 carbs daily, and my blood glucose stays under control fairly well. If I go above 90, I gain weight and my blood glucose spikes.
I envy those that can eat anything in their calorie range despite the carb count!0
