I did a low-carb diet (age 22 male - active) and lost 15lbs in 2 weeks time. I limited my carb intake to under 15 grams per day and exercised regularly.
Additionally, there are so many things you want to consider before jumping into a diet such as a low-carb diet. The impact of coming off the diet or the unhealthy and unbalanced nature of the food you intake are things that ought to be considered.
Usually when people go on a low carbohydrate diet, they eat anywhere from 40 to 80 grams of carbohydrates per day. Considering your weight, the number should be around 60 grams. If you are interested in more specific diet plans or numbers, I suggest you get some further information on the Atkins diet or the Keto diet.
The General recommendation is to have 50-60% of your calories come from carbs. If you are on a 2000 calorie diet, 1,000 - 1,200 calories (multiply 2,000 by 0.50 and multiply 2,000 again by 0.60) should come from carbohydrates. Since carbs contain 4 calories per gram, you should eat between 250 and 300 grams (divide 1,000 by 4 and divide 1,200 by 4) of carbs each day.
While this may seem like a large amount, carbs are the body's preferred source of energy. While it can use fat and protein for energy, carbs are much more efficient at delivering the energy you need. There are two main types of carbs: simple and complex.
Simple carbs are found in candy, soda, and anything made from white flour. Complex carbs are found in vegetables, whole grain flour, oats and cereals. You should focus on increasing your intake of complex carbs while minimizing the amount of simple carbs you eat.
If you follow the recommendations of the diet, it is possible to lose between 7-12 lbs in a 2-week period. In addition, following a low carb diet such as Keto, accompanied by exercise, these results can be much better.
