Whilst at work today a work mate consumed about 150g of carbs for his lunch, no he's not one of us . This got me thinking about carb intake and more specifically low carb diet's which I know a lot of you guys out there use to control your sugars. So my question is how low is low carb? Personally I tinkered with low carbs many years ago, there was no real science involved, I just ate less bread and potatoes basically. I just didn't get on with it, I felt drained all the time. I'm more than happy with my current regime between 120/180g of carbs daily. I know this isn't low carb but what is? Where do you draw the line? When does low become average/medium?
I appreciate people will have differing opinions, but it's those opinions I would be interested to know. I'm not interested in official guidelines or advice from expert's in a book.
I'm thinking below 50g per day but I'm not sure.
Thanks for your time and replies.
