A low carbohydrate diet is a diet in which you get relatively little energy from carbohydrates.
On average about 20-25% of your energy from carbohydrates. That means about 100 grams of carbohydrates per day.
If you exercise intensively that may be more, but for the other people an average of 100 grams of carbohydrates per day is a good guideline.
By carbohydrates, by the way, we mean only sugars and starch. So the way you find it in sweets, grains and many ready-made products.
By eating about 100 grams of carbohydrates per day, you give your body the opportunity to restore insulin sensitivity and to burn off excess body fat …
… without jeopardizing certain deficits. That is why we prefer the low carbohydrate diet to the ketogenic diet.
