    I have been on P3 for 2 days and I have been keeping away from starches and sugars...

    But I've been eating things like plain unsalted almonds, and today I look at the label and I see 5 grams of carbs per once... And when I started looking at more labels (cheese, eggs even plain chicken breast) every label contains some portion of carbs. Is this ok- or do I have to go out and search for labels that say Carbohydrates: 0g? Are we allowed a certain # of carb grams per day?

    you just have to stay away from things that have ADDED sugar and are super starchy...carbs come in different forms, so i's mostly the sugar and starch you should be steering clear of...almond, dairy, veggies and fruit are all ok as long as you don't have any sensitivities :)

    yva is correct... stay away from the items that have sugar (and all the various names) and/or starches in the ingredients list! The nutritional list doesn't really tell you what is in it to create the carbs, but the ingredients list will give you all the information you need. Just remember that starches and sugars have lots of names....

    I was wondering about the grams of carbs too...I have only been eating "natural" carbs in my veggies and fruit and almonds but I wonderd how much is to much? My fat content is throught the roof for me....100 grams or so...what is a safe number of carbs to eat with this amount of fat?

    My daily nutritional values are something like this

    fat around 100
    protein around 100
    carbs 45=55??
    Sugars- 25-35??

    Is this a recipe for disaster?

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately Simeon doesn't give us much guidance in this regard! Carbs meaure three things: starch, sugar and fiber. Vegetables are pretty high in fiber (which has no calories and passes through undigested), so that makes them naturally low in sugar and starch (except for potoatoes, corn, peas/legumes and carrots). If you just focus on eating lots of veggies (with the exception of the aforementioned), proteins and fats (which have no sugar or starch at all), then you can try adding low-sugar fruits, dairy with no added sugar, eggs, nuts, etc. and see how it goes. I don't think Simeon intended this to be a zero carb diet, but I personally feel my results are better in terms of stabilizing if I don't eat a ton of fat with a ton of carbs. If I eat a few more carbs (like yogurt or fruit), I am more careful of limiting fat on a given day. Simeon says in P&I that if "no carbohydrates whatesover are eaten, fats can be indulged in somewhat more liberally" and that combining fat and starch can get one into trouble "real quick." Too bad he didn't specify more exact grams of carbs and fat...but perhaps the threshhold differs for each person.
