NO SET AMOUNT: Instead of counting carbs all day, just take one meal at a time. Fruits do not count as carbs as long as they are not the tropical ones--bananas, dried fruit, pineapple, mangos etc other wise look for each item to have 10 grams of sugar per serving or less, if it is rice, pasta or potato, total carbs less than 20 keep protein above 10 if possible, don't skip meals and you will be fine, .

Individuals vary: I am glad to see that you want to make sure that your plan to lose weight is done safely. The composition of a diet varies by individual, their current health, activity level, goals and tastes. Further, diet is not the only contributing factor to hypoglycemia. You should see a bariatric physician to make sure that your desired weight management plan will be safe and effective.
