Hi Suzanne.
How many carbs you should eat is actually a very complex answer. Before we can really help you, we need to understand a few things about you. For instance, as Sue so correctly asked, how many pounds are you trying to lose, and are you trying to follow a particular plan of low carbing?
There are many different plans, and each one has a different way of approaching the entire issue of how and why to eat a low carb diet. It actually is not a diet, but a way of life. That is, we should be eating this way for the rest of our lives. It is not for losing weight, but that can be a great side benefit.
Let us know why you want to try low carbs or whose book you read about it. Some plans have you eat as few as about 10 gm. carbs per meal. Some allow as many as 100 per day. In fact, it is not as simple as eating fewer carbs. The reason that is so is explained in most of the books.
If you have not read one of the low carb diet books, I highly encourage to run to the second hand book store or the library and pick one up and read it.
And come back here often, ask any question that is burning in your mind, and we will try to help as much as we can. If it is about low carb, we might be able to help more than if you want to know the reason for our existance or the square root of 6.924. But you never can know what we know, unless you ask. We are delighted to help.
Hope to hear from you soon.
