So why should we avoid the amount of carbs currently recommended?

[QUOTE="mekalu2k4, post: 849550, member: 171561"] I do not think zero carb is practically possible, unless someone tries very hard to pick a zero carb diet. Personally I do not know any zero carb diet pattern. All legumes have at least a small percentage of carbs. Foods like boiled red kidney beans, boiled eggs do carry a certain percentage (however low it may be) of carbs. On top of everything, human bodies do require certain minimum dose of carbs everyday. If we google, most sources indicate that - Actual value of carbs in grams per day ranges from 100g to 300g per day for healthy people. And for T2D this range is about 80-150g (different sites, different values) One thing is clear - T2D folks should avoid free carb foods (like bread, rice, energy drinks, sodas) which have high glycemic index. These foods cause major damage if consumed daily and in higher doses - . this is obvious. I eat rice on two days of the week, but on those two days I start my day with jogging on treadmill [4 sets of 10min at 4mph, with 2% incline each - 5 min rest between sets] and sweat out a lot. Such training makes me a lot more confident to eat rice. Last 10 months I am on this routine, most of my problems [like cold, constipation etc] are solved. I sleep good too. Key aspect of most T2D is all about insulin resistance. And this can be bettered through exercise (HIIT High intensity interval training) [/QUOTE]
