I agree with Todd here, but then I agree with Todd 90% of the time anyway. ;-) I can't eat more than 75 carbs a day and if I find my rings are getting snug on my fingers I cut back to 45 carbs a day. I find the ideal amount to be 62. But watch which carbs you eat. It's the starchy carbs that will make my rings fit tighter. I love yams the way others love ice cream.... sigh...... Pumpkin runs a close second..... Oliva ----- Original Message ----- I find that the carb intake point that I eventually settle into is a bit lower, about 60g/day, but it varies. Choosing paleo over nonpaleo foods at this carb intake level doesn't make any discernible difference to how I feel (i.e., it wouldn't matter if I got my 60 or 72g from pears (paleo) or rice (nonpaleo)); I do it only to maximize my micronutrient intake, which is generally better on paleo carb sources.
