How grams of carbohydrates a day to lose weight?

Answer 1

Not how many carbs, how many calories. A pound of fat contains roughly 3200 calories. You want to lose 20 pounds of fat, which means you'll need to create a caloric deficit of (3200*20) 64000 calories- which works out to a deficit of 3050 calories per day. That means you need to burn 3050 more calories than you take in, everyday, for the next 3 weeks to lose 20 pounds of fat. That's not happening. Instead of creating impossible lofty goals to be accomplished in an unbelievably short amount of time, how about creating realistic ones that you can maintain for life? Any healthy diet is one that you will have to follow for the rest of your life if you want to continue seeing benefits.

Answer 2

If you maintain a good diet and exercise everyday, you should lose some weight. Remember not to completely exclude carbs, just eat the right ones. If you do set a particular diet, make sure you get enough calories or your body will adjust and think it is starving.

Answer 3

• This question cannot be answered as we are all unique individuals.

• You may not lose any weight at all if it remains too close to the 100 mark. 100 carbohydrates per day is usually used for weight maintenance, not weight loss. The usual range for weight loss is 20 to 60 carbohydrates per day. However, some people need to be stricter than others when counting carbohydrates. The best way is to experiment within that range and see what works for you.

Answer 4

You can lose an average of three pounds or more a week. Eventually this will level off, but you should be able to drop around 20 pounds by doing this.

Answer 5

That's all down to how strict the diet is, how good you are at sticking to it, and how long you keep it up.

Answer 6

40 grams of carbs a day can be useful to reduce weight.

Answer 7

Depends on what else you eat!
