You know, it still holds that for all their appearances of being slim, many Asians are developing diseases such as hypertension, hemorrhagic stroke and diabetes as well as having higher incidences of many types of cancer. If being slim, even while eating a diet that appears to be higher in carbs than those on maintainance levels of low carb doesn't prevent those diseases, is it really a benefit to eat that way?
In the second link I provided, it's now known that while many Asian people appear to be slim in comparison to or even while being approximately the same size as a Westerner, their body fat percentages are higher at the same weight. Could it be that their diet has something to do with that?
Also, 105-115 grams of carb per day could be considered maintainance for some on low carb, depending on their activity levels and tolerance for carbs.
