20 Gram carb limit?

[jmalone2]

I am doing induction starting my third week, I have lost ten pounds. I find at the end of every day my carbs add up to about 8 or 9. Am I suppose to hit 20 each day, does it matter that I am under?
Thanks for any help with this. (I never get hungry so I figured it didn't matter)

No you do not have to hit 20. But you should have most of carbs (2/3) come from healthy vegetable sources. So don't have your carbs being made up of only eggs, cheese, and artificial sweeteners.

I'm with you. I normally try to keep my carb count at under 10 going into dinner.

So I can crack into some vegetables! I loooooove me some veggies.

try not to wait till dinner time to dig into those veggies. you want to spread them out over the course of day, incorporating them into each meal.

Everyone's body is different. Carbs from veggies are important. Experiment and see what works best for you.

I am in the same boat, everyday 5-6 gr carbs, max.......the funny thing is the calorie count is also very low!!! with my weight 200lbs, and height 6", I take 900-1100 calorie /day!!!!!!!!!!!!! which is very low even for maintenance,,,,,,,but I have no apetite....
