[QUOTE="NoCrbs4Me, post: 871027, member: 113206"] As far as I can tell the standard medical advice to eat at least 130g of carbohydrates is based on virtually nothing but some study done in the 60s that says our brain uses that much glucose per day, so we need to eat that much or our brain stops working. What they failed to take into account was that in the same paper that the study is discussed they say that if a human doesn't consume that much carbohydrates (or anything at all), the body creates the glucose from protein and fat and our brain function is fine and our brain can also use ketones as a fuel source, so not as much glucose is needed anyway.
