In a study done at New York City Hospital Vilhjalmur Stefansson proved that you do not need ANY carbohydrates in your diet. That is to say ZERO. Ideal body weight is obtained and maintained and intestinal gas is eliminated. Eskimos got along with zero carbs and you could too if necessary.

Unlike protein and fats, which are essential, carbohydrates are not essential to sustain life.
