For me if I am doing a competition diet (maximum fat loss and increase of muscle) I do carb cycling - MON TUES THUR FRI at 40 carbs (not counting green veggies) and WED at 80 carbs then SAT SUN 60 carbs. 

Is that net carbs ? 

Yes. It is. Very difficult 12 week diet only. It is just to kick start metabolism 

And it is only unprocessed foods. Whole oats, fruit, sweet potato or brown rice 

Not a nutritionist at all, but this is what my nutritionist helps me do 

Thanks, I've really hit a plateau and can't seem to get past it. Have you been successful with your weight loss since you started doing this ?  

I have been doing Low Carb, High Fat for the last year. When I am successful, I keep my net carbs (carbs minus fiber) under 20g/day. 

Ok. How much protein? 

I do 20-25 Net carbs per day. 

I seem to have to stay under 10 net carbs to get anywhere. Also, high fat... and only moderate protein. If I eat too much protein it also throws me out of ketosis. 

i am doing 10 net carbs per meal snack 2x5 or 1x10 carb - is working well for me 

Thank you everyone, I appreciate you input. 

Personally I think your better off if you just go straight carbs and not net carbs try 20 or 25 

Rockiesfan, is that per meal ? 

No I would do that per day 

ok thank you 

;) 

anything under 100 is good.. i think adkins is 50  

You could look into the Ketogenic Diet. The doctor also has some Youtube videos I believe. http://www.ketogenic-diet-resource.com/ketogenic-diet-plan.html 

Net carbs don't work for me either...I have to stick with under 20 g of total carbs per day. I also look at the proportion of calories from fat, carbs and protein. I try to stay around 65% fat, 5% carbs, 30% protein, and under 1500 calories.
