Not sure yet. Right now, I'm avoiding carbs as much as possible. That's been my plan and I want to stick to that until I hit goal. (I have not been perfect (!) but overall, I've been pretty much on plan.)
Once I hit goal, I plan on introducing small amounts of carbs. I will monitor my weight very closely. The way some vets do it is they draw a line in the sand -- say 5 pounds over goal. Fluctuating up or down 5 pounds is normal, but if they find that they are 5 pounds over goal, they just go back to basics (high protein, low carb****il they get the weight back down. I will be trying that during maintenance.
