30% carbs is hardly "low-carb".
Indeed, most low-carb diets suggest 50g or less carbs per day - 200 calories or less.

- coding123 9y agoThat's exactly what I was thinking. Also, to do this across 12 months definitely means that 90% have dropped out after 30 days and shouldn't be counted. Those that treat it as a short term diet are bound to rebound. In the end you need to see this as your permanent way of eating.
- wnevets 9y agoI've found even 50g still too high.
- lowdest 9y ago30% of a 2000-calorie diet is going to be 150g of carbohydrates per day. Not very low carb at all.
- aYsY4dDQ2NrcNzA 9y ago> 30% of a 2000-calorie diet is going to be 150g of carbohydrates per day. 600g
- nraf 9y agoThere are 4 calories per gram of carbohydrate.

- ClassyJacket 9y ago50g is still high. Most people in low-carb communities talk about "low carb" as being under 20 grams per day.
- tunabee 9y agoKetogenic is under 20g per day; low-carb is usually <100g.
