Eincmom, I have been LCing for 3 months, that's not long compared to some who've been doing it for years, however I can safely vouch for them: They all have their livers and kidneys. I would strongly suggest that rather than falling prey to what "people are saying" about this WOE you educate yourself; it is your best defence. You would not drive a car w/o first learning how, it is the same for LCing. You should not start this WOE (Way of eating) without first reading the book for the plan you're following. It is quite safe to eat 20g of carbs indefinitely, if you're doing it right. But that being said, there is a lot more to LC than just eating 20g of carbs a day.
