I am considering a low carb diet and I know that initially you are limited to 20 perday for two weeks, so what is the most you are eventually allowed?

It depends–after the two weeks, you are supposed to gradually raise your carbs to no more than seventy-five.
20 carbs a day is what you are limited to only when starting, which lasts 2 weeks, if you are faithful. After that you can add 5 more carbs per week until you stop loosing weight. Also watch out for periods of time when you loose no weight at all (like 2 -6 weeks) you may have hit a plateau and need to drop down to 20 carbs again and increase your exercise to jump start your body again, then slowly work it back up each week 5 carbs at a time.
the most you are eventually allowed depends on your body. You kinda have to test yourself and add about 5 to 10 more grams until you see that you are not losing anymore. For alot of people its usually about 40 gms a day thats the most. Personally I hated that diet and everything about it. I seriously dont see how being able to eat meat everyday and suckin on a stick of butter drizzled in oil and fat can possible be good for your heart. Look into south beach if you must low carb.
