carbohydrates substitute the pasta, breads, grains, and starches

only that amount. - You have the option to use a method called
the eyeball method. This is a method to control your ratio of
protein to carbohydrate at every meal. - Try and add some extra
mono-unsaturated fat to every meal. - Make it a habit to drink 8
ounces of water thirty minutes before a meal. Result: You are
going to lose the remaining “excess” body fat.

25 percent of the total carbohydrates consumed at a meal.
