Carbs per day

So if I really can't cut out my sourdough, how many carbs a day?

Hello fedupdieter and welcome to our Weight Loss Forum

Bread binging, yes its tempting stuff!! And can spike further craving so getting a handle on it will be important if you want to get rid of weight. I love sourdough which is 32 carbs a slice and 162 calories and sourdough is one of the better kinds! (Look here

It's up to you how many carbs a day you want to go for. These are broad definitions.

The ketogenic range is below 20 gms and many go for that for a couple of weeks to start them off on a low carb plan, then gradually increase to a more manageable level, as below 20 gms is pretty limiting.

Moderate low carb is 20-50 gms a day.

Liberal low carb is 50-100 gms a day.

Remember, when you lower carbs, you need to increase healthy fats.

You'll find a lot of useful information on this site dietdoctor.com/low-carb

As for bread, there are some good suggestions here: Is there life after bread? healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Hi fedupdieter and welcome

As BridgeGirl has mentioned, it depends on how you integrate it into your overall carb intake and if that makes things awkward, then maybe it depends upon how much you're fed up of dieting

Welcome fedupdieter

Bread is a tough one for me too, so now limit myself to some sourdough once a week, eaten with low carb foods as part of a meal (so not a snack) to moderate the total carb content. That way I don’t feel so deprived (and therefore don’t become obsessed and end up eating the whole loaf!)

Hi, fedupdieter , welcome. See "How much Carbohydrate":

healthunlocked.com/fasting-...

If you "slim smart" weight loss is not so hard! It is not all about motivation and masochism.

Some of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:
