If your goal is weight loss then you want to track carefully your carb intake. If you go below 50 grams of carbs per day you will be more into a Ketogenic zone. This can speed up weight loss, but it is not recommended for long periods of time.
Most people are going to be able to reach 50-100 grams of carbs per day and adjust to this type of meal plan. The first few days may be challenging as your body adjust to the low sugar intake and is forced to become metabolically flexible.
Metabolically flexible means that it learns to use fat more effectively as a fuel source.
Once you have ready your goals a maintenance carb level is generally around 100-150 grams. You can usually maintain your bodyweight fairly easily at this amount.
150-300 grams and 300+ is where we start gaining weight and most American’s diets are in the upwards of 300+ grams of carbs per day. This is why the first few days of eating 50-100 grams can be a bit of a shock to the body.
Your body will adjust though and learn to adapt.
