"The most frequent complaints with low-carb diets are constipation and

and
whole grains, Astrup said."

TOTAL NONSENSE. There are numerous low carb vegetables.

"We have known for many years that there is a minimum intake of
carbohydrate
necessary to maintain the normal function of your body and that is
approximately 150 grams a day," he said. "But, if on the Atkins diet you
go
down to 20 to 30 grams in the induction phase, then maybe go up to 100
grams, still you are far below what your body needs."

I've operated below 150g/day for a long, long time. This makes the Lancet
look like idiots.

Not only have many of us consumed less than 150g/day (actually under
70g/day)
long term, but according to prevailing theory I burn more carbs in my
morning
workouts than I consume each day (i.e. well over twice the calories of my
max
carb intake).

The accumulating literature on low carb diets from the medical community
looks
pretty much the same as the literature on the diet-cholesterol hypothesis.
No matter
that the data show, the conclusions are always the same nonsense.

I agree with you. I burn some obscene amount of calories biking each
week, yet I take in nowhere even close to that amount of calories in
carbs.

Wonder if that means *all* carbs including the swell indigestible
fiber from veggies? It begins to make sense then. But just begins.

Too many people use the word "know" when they should use "believe".

150gr is regarded as the safe and sustainable limit and is thus a
guideline for the entire populous. People are different.
