Question 1

can you lose weight on 150 carbs a day?

That depends: You didn't tell us how many total calories are taken in each day. Am assuming you're asking about carbohydrate grams (and not calories)? If you are talking about grams- that would not likely fit the parameters for a ketogenic diet (if that is the question. However, the basic principal to lose weight is the calories burned must exceed calories taken in.  A keotgenic diet isn't the only way to  lose

Dieting: The secret of dieting is the combination of low calories ( 1500 calories/day) combined with regular moderate cardiovascular exercise.  The right diet is one that is high in protein (60% of the calories) and low in fats and sugars.  Carbohydrates should be around 25% of the diet. In a 1500 calorie diet that would 375 calories or 90 grams of carbs in a day.

Depends on the fats: A body's metabolism varies person: person and a diet heavy in poly unsat. Oils vis saturated oils differs that fat though oils can become fats.

30-40 grams a meal: Cutting back on carbs is a great way to lose weight. If you limit carbs to 30-40 grams with each meal it will help you lose weight. To give you an example one apple has 20 grams of carbs and a slice of bread usually has about 15-20 grams of carbs. Eat lots of vegetables and lean meats. Great that you are exercising. Good luck.

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, Always: Fat storage is driven by carbs, not fat in food. Ability to burn sugar for energy is limited. Fate sugar  inside cells: 1. Krebs cycle-limited, 2. Store as glycogen-limited, 3. Bind to proteins-very limited &amp; not healthy, 4. Convert to triglyceride fats &amp; export for storage. Continued carb intake drives cells to quit taking in sugars (despite insulin+amylin), called Insulin resistance &gt;&gt; diabetes!

can isopure zero carb affect my health since i take it for helping me to lose weight ? thanks in advance

Accepted Answer

Supplement only.: It's not harmful as long as you use it as a supplement only.  Don't use that as a meal replacement, like for breakfast or lunch.  Have your three real meals every day, and have one of those in between, say in the mid-afternoon.  And if you're doing that to lose weight, you really should be exercising regularly as well.
