Carbohydrates: 40% of total calories. 40%: 2200 kcal x 0.40 = 880 kcal / 4 kcal/g = 220 g of carbohydrate...
I would like this to be my final post on the topic of "how I managed to lose weight," so it will be a bit longer.
We already possess all the technical knowledge—we understand that we need strong willpower, determination, and we know what calories are.
Now we've reached the point where we can...
