if you are metabolically unhealthy (which is likely the reason you are considering lowering your carbs, right?)
From a concerned friend: ____ If you have been considering lowering your carbs but heard that your LDL cholesterol will go up, you may be surprised to know that a published study has shown that it goes down for a third of those on the diet, particularly if you are metabolically unhealthy (which is likely the reason you are considering lowering your carbs, right?): https://youtu.be/Q43kXyld6KU?t=2024 (The video has been cued. Dave, one author of the study explains this) For me, it is a good reminder that no one has died from *not* eating carbs but a lot have reported improved medical conditions (including heart disease) by cutting them down/out.

how much carbs is too much
From a concerned friend This may be worth some reflection if you've ever wondered how much carbs is too much: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19CyDK7tZM/
What is clear is that too much carbs will lead to fat formation and this happens naturally since if left in the blood, the sugar will cause damage all over the body; so the conversion process is a _safety valve_. A study, published in 2000 in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism paper by Bisschop et al., which measured gluconeogenesis* in healthy men under varying carbohydrate intake, showed that the body maintains blood glucose *even with very low carb intake* So, eating less is not harmful. Harm comes from eating more. *gluconeogenesis - the making of new glucose Sent from my iPhone
