The lower the better.
For a summer (4 months) I took in around 10 a day. No bread, taters, or beans. All meats and very few sugars. I went from 230 to 175. Best I've felt in my whole life.
I also noticed my heartburn was completely gone. This from a guy who's had ulcers since 96 and ate about 4-6 Tums a day.
Since I went from no-carb to low carb my metabolism has slowed and I've added 15 lbs back. Not in muscle either. Plus my famly has been known to get the big D and I'd like to keep my blood sugar low.
Nothing bad happened to me but I was under 30 and checked in with my doc every 2 months (blood tests for sugar, cholesterol, etc.) As long as you have a good family physician I'd recomend trying it.
