Hi, All......I'm just curious to know if anybody else out there is basically following a "general" low carb plan and if so, how many carbs, per day, do you allow yourself? I, personally, can not keep my carbs below 20g per day, so following Atkins is not for me. I do, however, try to keep my carb intake to somewhere between 30 - 60 net grams per day and I try to get these carbs from healthy foods. A lot of times, with everyday life, it's not always possible so I may, for instance, opt for something like turkey breast and Swiss cheese (both deli sliced) wrapped around a pickle slice for lunch. I know deli meats are processed and they're not really, what you would call "healthy", but to me it seems like a better option (for the 1/2 hour I have to buy/eat lunch) than a lot of other things out there.

Anyway, just curious if anybody else does their own thing, also. I would also like to add, I am down 7 lbs. so far so something must be working.
