And if one reads Lutz and Allan's "Life Without Bread" one will learn about
the health problems from any high carb diet, irrespective of where the
carbs come from. His clinical experience, the book is full of examples from
his clinical practice, is 72 carbs a day is right. Any more and health
problems ensure.

Here's my example. While I'm paleo in my diet, I was drinking lots of
orange juice, making it my primary beverage. So I was way over 72 grams of
carbohydrates. I cut back the OJ. A couple days later I had my blood
pressure tested. It was 112/70. She checked it twice. It had always been
130/70. In the book he points out that a low carb diet will bring about an
immediate 20 point drop in the systolic reading. He was right.

So Amadeus. Are you consuming more than 72 grams of carbs?

Don.
