not enough carbs?

[Mothercooter]

today I seemed to only get 13 carbs 10 net carbs. I ate my allowed veggies. 2 cups salad and 1 cup other veg (cauliflower) ate my cheese max, and some meats. I only ate 2 meals today though (I usually eat more though)

My question is...Will not eating enough carbs hurt anything?

Re: not enough carbs?

it can slow you down by making your body is starving. If it happens just one day, no big deal. Just get back on track and don't beat yourself up over it.

not sure where you got the idea you needed to be eating more then that amount of carbs. 20 net is the upper limit with the majority of them coming from your veggies. You are fine with your carb amount. the human body is very capable of making all the sugar it needs from protein and fats.

20gm is like the speed limit

So then if I just had 10 that would be fine?

should be cool, just be sure to eat enough times a day. No more than 6 waking hours between food.

nope cause the answer is if over 1/2 your total net carbs are from your veggies and you are under 20 net and you had all your vegies unless you were not hungry then your 10 is fine.

Yes, that is true .. there is nothing magical about that 20 gram limit. If you're happy and content on less, than good fer ya!
