160 grams of carbs per day = "low carb".

 face with tears of joy face with tears of joy face with tears of joy

one teaspoon of sugar = 4 grams of carbs

That's 40 teaspoons of sugar, or 13 tablespoons of sugar - almost a cup of sugar.

"low-carb"

Good science it ain’t lol!

I lost about fifty pounds over the summer of my sixteenth year on a low carb diet that had an upper limit of 55 grams. I probably consumed less than ten each day for two months, and had my first real job burning calories like mad, to achieve that result. You’re right. A “limit” of 160 grams (almost six ounces) is ludicrous. Besides, refined sugar bears a similar resemblance to unrefined carbs like starches and whole grains as cocaine does to coca leaves. Refining anything down to its addictive core is where real trouble starts. It changes something nature has built us to handle into poison.
