Low carbs, daily amount?

I too don't buy into diet plans! I have learnt you have to find a way of eating that works for you and you can stick to long term!

Thanks, yes I feel like you, I'll need to start counting carbs instead

without a permanent change of diet, the weight will yo-yo back on

I agree, I view my diet as a "Way of Eating", a lifelong change.....

Apologies for being a total Numptie but ...I read a lot of posts on this site about Carbs with people saying they have 10-20, 50-70 etc. What are the units?
Are they referring to grams of carb per day (in Total or the of which sugars)? Is there a conversion factor?

It'd be grams per day, and the total amount.

The 'of which sugars' definition used in nutritional information is entirely useless aside from providing a ballpark estimate of the GI of what you're eating - ALL carbs are technically sugar once you digest them.

Thanks DeusXM 🙂
