what's a good carb/fat/protein ratio to lose weight

[Yb04]

Can anyone provide suggetions for a good carb to fat to protein ratio to help in weight loss?

currently, my ratio works out to about 70%/20%/10% (fat/protein/carb).  it's worked quite well for me over the last year.

A good question! I did a search myself for some guidance in that area. I came up with 50% protein, 30% fat and 20% carbs - but my solution may not work for you. A lot depends on your current body type and what your goals are. Lemme see if I can find that link...

Another site backs up the first one.

Hope that helps.

The, "Formula," is based on 40, 30, 30, with carbs at 40.  A number of people have had much success with this diet.

Thanks so much, I appreciate the information.
