I've eaten that level (80-100)of carbs all through my weight loss and now in my maintenance. Now its my total intake that is more important. I have to watch my calories. 
My advice is to not wait to reach your goal to find your carb level (CCL). Do it while you are still losing weight. |
Im still working with what carb level/activity level keeps me at a stable weight..I like what I eat now....Ive added a few more things... I don't count calories..I tried for a couple of weeks....it became more of an obsession..so I am done with that...I can do the carb count stuff easily ...in my head without a lot of hassle ....what seems essential for me is...weekly weigh-ins and regular exercise..if I do that I have a good protective wall against denial...my old confounding acquaintance who longs to be my new best friend...sigh |
