I am 490 pounds and i am going to go on a low carb diet. how low should i start my carbs on my diet & what's my daily recommended intake for fat loss?

Expert: At that weight i would recommend you consult a bariatric physician and good nutritionist. The information you will get on line is going to be varied, confusing and not personal. You need personal, direct and specific counsel. I applaud your decision and wish you the best! keep at it!
