Does anyone know how many grams of carbs one should be allowed a day to follow a low carb diet?

Welcome to lowcarb.ca Lissa!

A word of warning...do not attempt to follow a low-carb diet based on what you find out from others, or even from reading this forum. It so so important to your well being that you read Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution if this is the plan you are thinking of following. You can then supplement your knowledge by coming to the forum, reading and asking questions. You wouldn't start driving a car without learning the basics first and it's the same with following any low-carb plan to change your way of eating.

You are right. I had gave my book to someone when I got pregnant and have not went to get another so I was trying to get some advise but that was the answer I thought I was going get.

Can you believe I just told my bosses friend I was on the carb diet when I was offered ice cream and he said to me that if I loose weight he was going to ask me out. What a jerk.

Thanks for your input.

Lissa, I'm sure you can get yourself a copy from the library if you don't have the time to head to a book store (who know the library might be closer to you )

And I agree.. "What a Jerk"

Cheers,
Nat
