low carb diets are dangerous and can cause several health problems.\n\na good balance diet contains two clenched fist size portions per meal for your carbohydrates. This is a general guideline that works for anyone of any size.

Low carb is better than no carb. A no carb diet sends your body into ketosis and thats never a good thing. You force your body to run on fat instead of carbs and the body isnt meant to do that. Your back will hurt because your kidneys are in overdrive trying to filter out all the stuff in fat that your body doesnt need. My anatomy proffesor said that eating no carbs and making your body run on fat alone is like putting diesel gasoline into a regular car... it'll run but not as efficiently and with a lot more byproduct.

I would think so, depending on what vegetables you're eating. Most vegetables are fairly low in carbs, provided they're not just the starchy ones.  Add veggies which are higher in protein.

I believe most starters go for 100 and under. The lower you can go the better. However, it takes a few days for your body to adjust and you may get a headache as it reverses the sugar process in your body. Don't panic, it's ok.That sounds really low but if you look at what you eat there's lots out there. Get rid of the bread, pasta, potatoes, sweets, desserts, etc. Drink lots of water. Your doctor can suggest a nutritionist to go to for assistance in getting your diet program.

Berries like strawberries, blueberries etc are the best. Another good one is avocado, which is really nice. Check out the Atkins website to have a look at their carb counter table.

maybe 1000-1200 calories a day, no carbs, lots of water.\n\nrun at least 4-5 miles per day.

Eliminate the "bad" carbs, -usually they are anything white, only as a general rule, and eat only the high fiber carbs-whole grains, whole wheat-read labels, even watch certain veggies. Exercise Always helps, eat 6 small portions a day that are mostly protein, trying to eliminate dairy products, cut out the fat and the red meat!By eating 6 small meals daily, this will keep your insulin level at the proper level and you will not be hungry.  Buy a small book on carbs from your neighborhood drug store to better understand the difference between good and bad carbs and keep track on how many grams you are eating.  When I lost weight, I was on 15 grams of Good carbs.  Good luck, watch the dairy, fat, and red meat and I know you will do great.  If you are diabetic consult with your Doctor first, or if you have any other health matters.

Depends on your height, weight and body mass index (percentage of fat and muscle in your body). For example, for a 5 foot 4 inch woman of 145 pounds who is trying to lose weight, the ideal calorie intake for one day is 1200-1300/day. Now if its a man, you will want to eat more because on average, men have faster metabolic rates than women. 3,500 calories is one pound so basically if you can burn 3,500 calories in one day (very difficult) you lose one pound in that day, or you intake 3,500 calories and you've gained a pound...thats if you have been sitting on your bum all day. Its helpful to search these sorta things online on diet websites, there are many...hope this helped...\n:)

Balanced meals.  Becareful of too much soy, there are new studies linking it with hypothyroidism (personal experience with this one) two or three servings a week is okay.  Don't worry so much about carbs, we need them, just make sure you are getting the right amounts from the 4 food groups, and exercise.

Around 300 calories, that would put you at 1500-1800 per day which is about what one needs to maintain their weight. If you start losing or gaining then you will know you need to alter your calorie intake but that is a good place to start. :-)

Hi!  Good for you for eating carbs!\nBaked potatoes are a good source of healthy carbs because they also contain a lot of fiber.  Different types of beans are also good (black beans, chick peas, navy (white) beans) and they, too, are a good source of fiber.  Don't go crazy with portion sizes, as these do contain a good amount of carbs.  One small potato or 1/4 cup of beans are appropriate portion sizes.  Pair these with salad greens and a source of low-fat protein and you have a great meal.  Don't forget to exercise daily to burn off any excess carbs your body doesn't use naturally.

hello, the first thing you need to do is get enough fiber in your diet from making you stop eating that much to begin with...fiber fills you up and you must get the good fiber, not just any fiber..good fiber are from fruits, veggies, whole grain breads etc..there is nothing wrong with having carbs, but you must have the good ones, not the bad ones, and we all know what the good ones are, just do a google search 'good carbohydrates' and they will list the foods that are good for you..cut out all the processed foods and meat if you have that at all.  drink alot of water and excercise cause excercise cuts out your craving for carbs and water fills you up temporarily just in case you dont want to eat for a while.  good luck and don't worry about the good carbs, just worry about the BAD ones! and be careful with protein, too much is not good for the liver, try FIBER, GOOD FIBER instead..

Simply watch your carbohydrate intake.Look at the labels(yes I know that's boring)But,just once look at the container say on a soda pop can,what do you see? Most likely on that one can you will find from40-50 carbs.just on one can of soda pop.Your body was not made to process all the carbs it's most likely getting in one day. Try drinking only water as your beverage for a week or two and see what happens. How many carbs will you not get just by checking this one item.Then after a few weeks,start checking the containers of food you buy.Now look on the side of the can or box,how many carbs in in this item per serving? Cut back your carbs and you will most likely lose weight.
