The linked article doesn't even consider low carb. Here are a few excerpts:
• "The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that carbohydrates make up 45 to 65 percent of your total daily calories.
So, if you get 2,000 calories a day, between 900 and 1,300 calories should be from carbohydrates. That translates to between 225 and 325 grams of carbohydrates a day."
• "Contrary to what low-carb diets claim, very few studies show that a diet rich in healthy carbohydrates leads to weight gain or obesity."
• "Stick to low-fat dairy products. Milk, cheese, yogurt and other dairy products are good sources of calcium and protein, plus many other vitamins and minerals. Consider the low-fat versions, to help limit calories and saturated fat. And beware of dairy products that have added sugar"
An article titled "Carbohydrates: How carbs fit into a healthy diet" which dismisses low carb and promotes the standard Western diet isn't going to be well-received in a low carb community, is it?
It doesn't explain a low carb diet at all. All it says is
Terms such as "low carb" or "net carbs" often appear on product labels. But the Food and Drug Administration doesn't regulate these terms, so there's no standard meaning.
My comments are in response to the article (mayoclinic.org/healthy-life... you kindly posted.
That article is not selling the virtues of a low carb lifestyle. It's recommending the standard Western high carb diet.
Do you read the links you are sharing? The Mayo clinic one is about the Standard American Diet and the Harvard one is about keto. Neither defines a low carb diet.
The discussion is about value of a linked article denouncing low carb and promoting the standard western diet in a low carb community. Please stop dragging the conversation off-topic. If you want to discuss how many carbs are defined as low carb, then you can start a separate thread. In the meantime, here's some guidance from our good friends at Diet Doctor...
I am not doing your homework for you. Find a link that actually expresses what you are trying to say, and make sure you actually click on it and read it, before asking us to.
I am perfectly happy with the diet doctor link above. You have posted 2 links that have nothing to do with the definition of low carb. Maybe you can provide an actually relevant link before you tear strips off those who have.
