Re: hiya

how many carbs does a normal person eat every day ?

Re: hiya

Not sure what you mean by a normal person. If it is a normal person around here - probably less that 80. Although some are lucky and have quite high CCLL. However Atkins is not just about carbs, it is also about staying in ketosis for weightloss which means avoiding high sugar food and you are not doing that with those fruits it looks like. It may be time for you to look for another plan that could more fit what you think you are capable of doing. There are things like South Beach or the Zone that may fit you better. Good luck.

Re: hiya

I think something like 100 net carbs is counted as a 'controlled carb' way of eating rather than a low carb one, but I dont have any references for this.
