Question Regarding Carbs
I have heard for every 2 grams of protein you should have 1 gram of carbs. Is this true?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I would like to bring carbs (breads, pastas, etc) back into my diet but in moderation.
I like the fact that you had your surgery with Dr. Genaw, as that is who did mine. I am more apt to agree with the NUT on that but I have to also realize that you may or may not be at goal.
For me I was within 15 lbs of my goal, maintained that for about six months then let it slip away. I have done the 5DPT this month and gotten away from the carbs and now am only 29 lbs away from my goal!
I'm hoping to get a few more responses before I decide....I know some carbs are good.....but at the same time I don't want to take away too much and become sick!
Most of my carbs come from veggies, fruit, legumes/beans, dairy and limited starch-based whole grains. I avoid pasta and rice. The only bread I do is Arnold Thins once in a while or whole grain, low-carb tortillas occassionally. I pretty much avoid all "white stuff."
Here's an example of a typical day's breakdown
