Gyro... you're right, it is low. I eat more carbs now than on Induction (more veggie carbs, nuts, cottage cheese, nut butters, etc)... probably in the 35 to 40 grams per day range. That's still pretty low. My body just can't handle a lot of carbs... and I'll never eat grains no matter what my weight might be. I don't feel good when I eat them. Eating this way is maintaining my weight pretty much. If I were to keep adding carbs, I'd have to reduce my protein/fats even more and I'm about as low as I'm comfortable going there. At 5'4" and 127# (with bird bones) 1500 - 1700 cal a day maintains my weight. When I exercise, I can chip off 1 to 2 pounds a month. Unfortunately, for me... that's not the level of carbs/food that most people get to eat at this point. But the smaller you are, the less you need so the less you get to eat. I'm in Pre-Maintenance and would like to lose another 7 - 9# this year.
