BirdDancer—good for you on getting healthier!

RE: carbs Mark Sisson/Mark’s Daily Apple/the Daily Apple site is one of the largest gurus in the Paleo sphere. He lists below 50 in the keto range and 50 to 100 in the weight loss range.

The big guru in low carb, Atkins, starts with an (extremely low carb) induction phase and lets you add carbs back over time to see how you do.

I did 100-ish carbs for a long time. People would pick at me on a low carb forum where I liked to hang out, so I called it moderate carbs to avoid arguing, but I think 100 to 150 is more like moderate.
