Too many carbs is different for different people.

For me 20 net carbs per day is the limit. My entire family, parents and siblings are +300 pounds, we are cursed with slow metabolisms.

That is except for me. I finally have a BMI index of normal. I found that more than 20/day means I gain.

Others can tolerate more.

What is your number?

Pay attention to what you eat, log how many net carbs (carbs minus fiber, minus sugar alcohols) you are eating, and reduce it until you lose weight. Then keep it there until you are at your target weight. After that you can add more until is starts to make you gain.

I miss a lot of foods I used to eat, but without good health, nothing else matters.

Good luck, there are a lot of people here eager to help you with your journey. I do hope you find out exactly what is healthy for you.
