Default CARBS

Hi Quincey!


ON SB we don't count carb grams only ADDED sugar. Any naturally occuring sugar such as the fructose in fruits is ok. But if you look at the ingrediens list and see sugar or dextrose or other forms of sugar then the food must only have 3 grams of sugar or less per serving.

As far as carbs go you just need to limit your intake of starchy carbs i.e. bread, rice, pasta and sweet potatoes. For me I try to keep to 2-3 starchy carbs a day. A Physically active male could probably handle more than that. You may want to experiment with that to see determine how many starchy carbs you can eat & still lose weight.

HTH
