Hi all, I’m on day 2 here and finding it all ok so far.
One question I am trying to find the answer to is how many grams of carbs should we be staying under. Standard LC dieting keeps you under 20g/ day but with beans, nuts and lots of veg that is definitely not going to be a possibility! I am just trying to make sure I get this right so it would be good to get a bit of an idea.

I don’t think there is a rule about how many grams to eat – more to avoid processed carbs – bread, pasta, rice, crackers, crisps etc. I’ve been tracking 70-80 over the past 2 days. x

I’m not tracking carbs at all as there is nothing in the book that says we should. I’m just not eating any of the simple ones. I’ve lost 4 pounds in four days and two and half inches off my waist. There are some other threads on here where people have done the maths for carbs.

Great, Thanks.
I just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t missing anything. I have com in around 70-80 today and yesterday so that seems about right and I am not eating any of the simple carbs.
I might look for the thread with more thoughts on the amounts of carbs ( just because I quite like a rule to try to stick to) but glad to know I’m on the right track.
