I agree with much of this article. I also thought what he said about internet forums was so true as well.

For me, I didn't feel well at all when my carb count was too low, and I also coudn't lose that way. I keep my carb count somewhere between 70-100. Most of that comes from fruit and veggies. I also do not eat a lot of fat. I do eat fat, but don't purposely add it, I don't eat heavy cream or gobs of butter. If we are having chicken thighs vs. breasts, I eat a chicken thigh....... but I don't smother it in bacon fat nor do I eat the skin. I reached my goal this way and so far have maintained for over a year, but still have low carbers tell me I'm doing it wrong. Go figure?

When I see someone here hit a long stall eating only 30g of carbs per day, and the advice they receive is to lower the carb count even further, I just don't believe that the reason they are stalled is because the whopping 30g of carbs they are taking in is just too high.
