How did it affect them?The reason for my question is that I lost my weight on a moderately
low carb diet. Think 150 carbs per day and calorie controlled. 25% of
calories from carbs. Nowadays I still eat about 150 carbs, and
exercise quite a bit. Most of these carbs come from raw vegetables.
Sometimes I eat hot cereal, either oat bran or a bunch of boiled whole
grains (Lithuanian hot cereal, wheat, peas, oats, in original form).Yet, I find myself moderately hungry and thinking too much about food.
I recently experimented with lowering my carbs further, specifically
dropping one slice of sourdough bread in the morning and reducing
other carbs a bit.It did help in blunting the sense of hunger and interest in food.
What I am concerned is that if I adopt this regimen, and follow it for
a long time (think 50 years), would I hurt myself in any way?That
seems a bit too radical for me. It seems counterintuitive that one
could live a long life on a radical diet.I am not trying here to bash lowcarbers, not at all, I want to
understand what works and what does not, very long term.i
Does this work out to 2400 cal per day?
150 carbs = 600 cal
25% carbs means the total calories would be about 2400.
