How many carbohydrates per day can I have and loose weight?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

To calculate the number of calories expended, use this Resting Metabolic Rate calculator:
http://www.shapeup.org/interactive/rmr1.php
For me, a male 5'8" and 125 lbs, age 60, it is 1331 calories. Then you will need to know additional calories expended due to exercise during the day. For example, look at this activity list:
http://www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist.htm
Swimming moderately for 1 hour consumes 472 calories. So, if this is all I did in a day, I would have expended 1803 calories.
If I ate only 1300 calories/day, then according to this calculator:
http://www.freedieting.com/tools/weight_loss_calculator.htm
it would take me 1 week to lose 1 pound. I would have to eat 500 less calories per day for a whole week to lose one pound. The body is actually amazingly efficient!
What is 3500 calories equivalent to?
Use this food calorie chart:

For example, one piece of apple pie is 405 calories. So to lose one pound, I would have to forgo dessert for more than a whole week.

My brother in law has friends who are body builders and they will do this for a week or so before a competition so their muscules will look more refined.

I chose this as best answer because it's the one that actually answered the question posed. While the answer above it was well-written and thought out, it's not the answer to the question posed.
Reducing carb intake on a low-carb diet can indeed reduce weight without reducing calorie input. A little bit of research would have shown that's possible.
It might not be agreed upon that it's healthy - but it IS not disputed that it works.
The right answer, per low-carbing diets, is below 20grams per day to start and then slowly increase it until you stop losing, then you know your critical carb level and can adjust accordingly.

Then, how do you know the information that you've provided in your answer?
Given your constructions on other posts, English is not your first language. Are you Russian?
In English, we say, "provided that it make sense," rather than "provided that it have any sense." Your construction indicates a foreign way of thinking. In another post, you said, "This answer is inaccurate and haven't sources." In English, we say "this answer is inaccurate and doesn't have sources." Also, we say, "Someone who states that every answer must have sources," rather than "someone who states that any answer must have sources." Finally, English does not use a reversed question mark to flag a question. That would be Spanish.
Now I'm clearer than ever that your answer is not your own, because it's inconsistent with the language that you've used in other posts.
"Shinju", ¿¿¿Who has told you that ALL answers MUST have sources???
Any comment is welcome, provided that it have ANY sense.
Great answer, but unsourced.
