[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 2445536, member: 52527"] It rather depends how you define 'low carb'. You are looking at it from the point of view of g of carbohydrate consumed per day which will be low. A more usual way to look at it would be to calculate the percentage of calories that come from carbohydrates. 125 g of carbohydrate would supply 500 Calories which would be 62.5% of daily calories which is not low carb. In any case, the diets differ in that ND low-calorie shake phase is for a relatively short period of time (8 weeks) whereas low carb is for life. It might be better to compare low carb to the maintenance phase of the diet plan which advises (amongst other things):- [LIST] [*][I]Limit processed carbohydrate foods like biscuits, crisps, cakes, pastries, sweets and chocolate [/I] [*][I]• Avoid fruit juice, smoothies and sugary drinks[/I] [*][I]Choose wholegrain and slow release starchy carbohydrates at meals. Limit the portion size to no more than ¼ of a 10” plate – they are not essential.[/I] [*][I]Choose fruits such as berries, a slice of melon, an apple, a small orange.
