Most people have no idea what 20 grams of carbs looks like. The number of people who have said 'me too' when I discussed a low carb/keto diet is huge, and they usually mean 'I try to avoid sugar'.
A can of coke has double the daily allotment of carbs.
You quickly realize how devoid of nutrition modern processed food is.
Low-carb vegetables are usually around 5% carbs. Fruits 10%. A single 10g square of 90% dark chocolate, 2gr. Quinoa, 20%. Yams, 24%.
Think about that. If you ate no other vegetables or fruits, 100 grams/3oz of quinoa supplies all the carbs allotted.
I'm sure much of the benefit from keto is forcing you to eat less processed, nutrient dense food.
