Am going to try increasing to 60 g but not this week.....want to give things time to settle and not rush. X

Update for anyone that is interested. ....after a week of increased carbs (from often <20 to between 40 to 50 this week) I've not put in any weight at all! These extra carbs have come mainly from being more liberal with veg, and have tried fruit! I've tried different foods on different days, to monitor my reactions to…

Thank you for the support everyone, it really helps to have a bit of advice sometimes. ☺

Oh it deleted the end of my post! Just to say I am really missing fruit. But I'm rather afraid to increase because I'm the most slim that I've ever been, and afraid of losing that! I will admit that some days I do feel very fatigued (yes with pickles and supplements etc ) and a bit cranky. Anyway I also wanted to say thank…

Thank you for taking the time to respond! I've generally been hitting around 20 grams of carbs a day, initially net but now total as I wanted to add more veggies and salads. And avocado!

The doctor only seems to think it's a problem if.I want more children (which I dont) so I've decided not to worry about it. X

Thank you all!

So you are saying if I eat non low carb to 1200 I'll put on weight as opposed to 1200 low carb?

Thanks everyone! I wasn't thinking of going high carb as such, more just adding a few things in (not bread or pasta), and when I said birthday cake I did mean occasionally not very often. :) I am curious if 1200 on calorie counting alone will have a different effect (make me put on weight) as opposed to 1200 calorie…
