I love getting BIOLOGICAL...
Cutting carbs too much for a long time COULD be dangerous and cause permanent damage to the body.
Why, you may ask? Well, the body gets most of its energy from ATP. ATP is the gas and the body is the car... got to have it to live. ATP is derived from many sugars and monosaccarhides(mono-simple sugars) like glucose that come from carbohydrates, which is unlike any other food we take in. Glucose is the simplest form of sugar that is needed for everything... animals and plants. Glucose is needed on the cellular level. So without glucose, things tend to either slow down or die... cell by cell. Brain cells depend on glucose as their PRIMARY source of energy. Without glucose the brain cells cannot function because they are missing their primary fuel to run and if carbohydrates are cut completely then so is the glucose.
SIMPLY PUT: Glucose comes from the carbs, enters the bloodstream through the intestinal tract, and goes to the brain from there due to cirrculation. No carbs, no glucose. No glucose, your brains cells are out of fuel.
Not to say that cutting carbs in decent amounts will harm you because it more than likely will not, but if you cut too much then damage can be done. Don't cut too many carbs!
Pick up any Biology I textbook and read about carbohydrates, glucose, ATP, and the metabolism of the brain. I attend Mr. Bob Reeder's freshman class at MSCC (Motlow State) so if you need proof other than a text book, he could provide it for anyone.
Then again... I am just a student...
Again, I repeat... it depends on how much you cut from your diet. I AM NOT saying that you guys are doing something dangerous that should be banned and such. I AM saying this: Be reasonable about how much carbohydrates you cut from your diet because too much could hurt you and cutting ~TOO MUCH~ for a long amount of time will literally starve you.
