There are degrees: of low carbs. Atkin's diet recommends differing amounts of carbohydrate depending on phase you are in of nutrition plan. A person eating around 2000-calories per day might eat around 225 to 325 carb grams per day (at 45 to 60% carbs/day). Even intake of 120 mg of carbs per day will help to accelerate weight loss.
