How many carbs per day for weight loss? |

Weight loss options and approaches.
Answer
The number of carbs for weight loss is from 20 up to 70 grams daily (with the exception of the first stage of Atkins).
However, 70 grams daily is very generous and is usually only for those who are engaging in weight training in addition to cardio exercise.
The usual low carbohydrate range is 20 to 50 grams daily. You must determine how strict you need to be; the best way is to experiment and discover what amount works well for you as an individual.
Get those carbohydrates from natural sources such as (preferably organic) fresh non-starchy vegetables and fresh low carb fruits such as berries.
There is no minimum daily requirement for carbohydrates, but they do have many beneficial phytochemicals and fiber so eating some is fine (as long as they are unprocessed).
