[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 400353, member: 13582"] Hi Sip, You hear that a lot; but it's simply not true. Google 'essential nutrients' you'll see that there are no carbohydrates on the list. 'Essential' means nutrients that cannot be created by the body. It is true that you need about 30 grams of glucose a day (for elements of brain function and some muscle function) but our rather astonishing bodies can synthesise that from protein; by gluconeogenesis. So, if you want to be super hard core you can eat zero carbs a day without problems (as long as you are eating the essential nutrients). How palatable that would be is another question... If you are low carbing your body will switch from a glucose metabolic state to a ketotic state; it will break down fat to provide energy and you will have low levels of ketones show up in your blood. Here is a link to a recent study demonstrating that low-carb results in lower HbA1c, greater weight loss plus no detriment to blood lipids (despite more fat being eaten by the low-carb group). That reads to me as all upsides no downsides!
