You should be able to eat 40 grams of carbohydrate and lose weight. However, if you gain weight easily and find it hard to lose, you may be insulin resistant. Many overweight people are insulin resistant without being aware of it. If you were, you might need to drop down from 40 grams. For a carbohydrate-restricted diet, the usual range is 20 to 50 grams daily. The best way is to experiment and discover what amount works well for you. Unlike protein and fats, there is no minimum daily requirement of carbohydrate in order to flourish physically. Although there is no daily minimum requirement, they do have many beneficial phytochemicals and fiber so eating some is fine as long as they are not refined (processed) carbohydrates. Get your allowance of carbohydrate from natural sources such as (preferably organic) fresh non-starchy vegetables and fresh low carb fruits such as berries. ----

Losing weight can be difficult, and the amount of carbs consumed is not enough to determine the ability to lose weight. In addition to cutting down on carbs, someone would need to alter the rest of their diet accordingly, and also get enough exercise.
How many grams of carbohydrates per day do you need to lose weight or do you not think that matters?
It's not the amount or proportion of carbs that matter; it's the total calories consumed. Since it takes 3,500 calories to gain or lose a pound, if you take in 500 fewer calories per day than you burn up (through exercise and just being alive) you will lose about a pound per week. At 4 calories per gram of carbohydrate, that means cutting out the equivalent of 125 grams of carbs per day. But here's a helpful tip: at 9 calories per gram, fat contains more than double that amount. So its probably easier to lose weight by reducing fats than by reducing carbs.
