How Many Carbs Can You Eat & Still Lose Weight?

Low carb diets are popular because they work. But, what exactly does “low” mean? In this video, I’ll define low-carb and keto ranges, explain why the types of carbs that you eat matters, and help you determine the number of carb grams that you can eat and still lose weight.

i’m 16 and have been taking in about 1800 calories a day and less than 100 carbs a day and with constant workouts i went from 220 to 160 in only 4 months

I'm a quadriplegic and have been for about 16 years. I've been gradually gaining because I wasn't paying attention but now it's quite upsetting because I'm 5' 2" and 174 lbs. I've been off potatoes, bread and just recently after watching a few of Dr. Becky's videos, I'm eating nothing but eggs and salmon. It's a start!

I am over 65 and started doing between 50-100 grams of carbs a day in April and have lost 22 pounds to date.

This is my hubby's youtube acct. I'm Kristen and I'm 50. I go about 20- 50. I've been losing pretty good with that range! I have about 70 lbs to go. I fell on my tailbone going into church, black ice 8 years ago. Put on a lot of weight from bad diet and bad meds. Finally found the right diet.

I appreciate your mention of gender, age & hormones, (I’m a 60 year old female). This year has been my most difficult in light of the realization of how few calories I need on daily basis. Plus, I have to be much more intentional to exercise regularly. Your information on carbohydrates today is enlightening, 👍. I check your videos weekly and am blessed by the valuable information!
Thank you, Dr. Becky!!

I do 50 to 100 on a good day. Thank you for this break down. I was not aware of the number to be considered low carb.

[deniseunknown]

Appreciate your videos. They are informative, the tone is pleasant and calm. I love that. I’ve learned a lot watching your videos. Thank you.

Dr. Becky, you are the BEST, there is nobody like you in the way you present yourself and the knowledge you provide! You have helped me beyond measure and I thank you very much!

I’ve found low-carb works better than keto because my mind gets too slow on keto.

[johnnypenso]

Dr. Becky could convince me to do almost anything 😃 😄 😅 😆. Great information here for beginners. I used a step down method myself a few months ago but it involved replacing a meal a day with a keto meal, then two then keto all the way. The transition was very easy with no side effects other than the massive amounts of pee I excreted for a week. No keto flu either.

[sarabanks]

I enjoyed your video. I do under 15 carbs/day, I'm over 50, do intermittent fasting 10+ hrs & I avg 8+ lbs a month. Great weight loss program to maintain on too!

[simplyme]

Great simple information in a nutshell!

[catwarrior]

I'm so going to try the 21 day challenge and I really wanted to try IF so I'm glad that can be worked in. I'm really excited to get started!!!!

[leeauslander]

You always make sense, one of the few people i listen to. Thank you 😊

[DouglasNicholson-ffep]

The best answer i read was...

Start low enough to achieve the purple color in the urine test strips.

Then sdd 5 carbs more for 4 days.
Check more test strips again.

If you're still in the purple, then add another 5 carbs per day, for 4 more days, and so on, till your test strip doesn't show in the purple.

Then back off 5 carbs per day, snd that should be your limit.

If you eat more than once, per day....
It may be best if you dont consume ANY carbs st all, except in just one meal.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and educating me! You are truly a blessing! God bless!❤️

After watching many videos, I've done the 21 day challenge and am continuing on with very low carb for another few weeks. It's been a drastic change, but very positive and not just in terms of weight. Pondering what comes as a next step. :-)
