100 grains of carbohydrate per day to maintain blood glucose levels, provide energy and maintain normal function. A carbohydrate deficiency can lead to breakdown of muscle tissue as it is needed for energy. Carbohydrates also help to retain sodium, a key regulator of fluid balance. Thus on a lowcarbohydrate diet, much of the weight loss is fluid loss that would be regained when the person goes off the special diet

Other myths in specific high-protein, high fat and low carbohydrate diets are that the acid in grapefruit dissolves body fat; that safflower oil flushes fat from the system; and that alcoholic beverages can be substituted for all carbohydrate foods.
