Thread: Have any of you found- after awhile maintaining - you need to lower your carb level

to prevent weight gain?

For some reason, I am starting to find that I am having to lower it a little. I was maintaining lovely at 60 g but have put on about 10 lbs in 2 months (my own fault for only getting on the scale once a month. I would have been able to catch this sooner) I haven't changed anything. I'm exercising the same. I'm eating the same. But for some reason, those pounds came creeping on. So is it really true - overtime - that we might have to adjust our carb level again? Anyone else experience this? I dropped down to 55 g on Sunday. I'll check Friday to see where I am. (I used to sit at 45 g for maintenance but was able to increase without weight gain at first and now am wondering if that was my mistake - you know, getting away with the highest level of carbs you possibly can)

I eat no more than 1400 calories a day - and below that, I am left starving - probably because I work out 2 hours a day. So I honestly don't think my calories are too high-not for someone with my exercise routine.
