Effective Carbohydrate Count

Other programs that do not work well prescribe excessive carbohydrates. For twenty years with great results, forty percent carbohydrates have been used for weight gain. This is the lowest percentage carbohydrates used by other programs. With forty to sixty percent carbs, clients engage in poor, ineffective diet programs. For example, if a man wants to reach a goal of two hundred pounds, he is prescribed between 260 to 390 grams (about 13.76 oz) of carbs per day in a weight loss attempt. This is excessive and ineffective.
