Low carb diet - how many carb grams?

A diet suggesting daily carbohydrate intake over 100 grams is not a low carb diet.



It doesn't mean however that it's a bad diet. The South Beach Diet is not a low carb diet, it's about good or bad carbs and good or bad fats, but it works for people with "apple" body type.



There's is a reason to doubt even Dr. Atkins' diet. On induction phase, 20 grams a day is allowed. However, since the diet doesn't limit Protein intake, there's no way of telling how many carb grams enter your body because roughly 1/2 of the protein is being converted into glucose.



The only clinically correct low carb diet is the Ketogenic diet which not only limit carb grams, but protein intake as well so that for every 1 gram of carbohydrates and protein combined, there was at least 4 fat grams.
