People are different, but there has never been a study anywhere where the people could not sustain the "normal function of [a] body" under 150 grams of carbs per day. They just define the state of ketosis as not being part of "normal function" I guess, based on the little shippet that was posted. What else is new? The question is whether or not being in ketosis is a suboptimal way for the body to function. There's always been a lot of disagreement on this, and no real long-term studies on large western population groups. I think most of us here are OK with it, if done in a healthy way. HG |
