Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / March 2004Question about carbs
Hi, I've just recently started to count carbs and calories and try to cut down on both along with exercise in order to try and loose 70 lbs. I was wondering how many carbs do you normally consume. Melissa You need at least 120 grams of carbohydrates or your brain won't work right, according to the American College for Preventive Medicine. Cutting carbs also inhibits serotonin production. Make sure you're getting high-fiber low fat carbs and try to get to the point where you're exercising 60 minutes a day, even if it isn't strenuous exercise. > Hi, I've just recently started to count carbs and calories and try to cut > down on both along with exercise in order to try and loose 70 lbs.

Please site your sources.

Just wondering. according to http://igor.chudov.com/weightloss/fitday/ I eat 149 grams of carbs per day and 32 grams of fiber, in a "typical week". I suppose that the 149 carbs number does not include 32 grams of fiber. i > Hi, I've just recently started to count carbs and calories and try to > cut down on both along with exercise in order to try and loose 70 lbs. > I was wondering how many carbs do you normally consume. > > Melissa I don't count carbs (though I do stay away from bad ones). But looking at my diet program stats. I averaged 185.3g carbs a day the past week. With and average of 43.2g of fiber. So I have a net average of 142.1 a day. I have had some days when my carb intake was well over 200 NET grams. ((all good carbs.. fruits,veggies,beans)) I have some friends who live atkins and are on less than 40 carbs a day and maintain healthy lives. I obviously could not do that seeing I love fruit and beans.

I worry more about eating plenty of fruits and veggies and whole grains/fiber than I do about the total number of carbohydrates I eat per day. I also watch the added sugars (but don't really worry about the sugar in fruits). Signaturejmk in NC |
