Astonishingly simplified. There is far more evidence for the health improvements from ample amount of strength training and aerobic cardio exercise. Good luck lifting 3x and running 3x a week on "low carb".
Amongst acquaintances I see low carb adherents. I wonder why they are always the ones woefully less fit than the serious athlete acquaintances. Amongst serious athletes there is no low carb proselytizing lol.
For sure it can help people who don't exercise and thus don't use much carbs in the first place. But that is far from ideal health, and thus the ideal diet.
I do exactly that for a decade. This is not for discussion, we know this. Stop eating carbs 2 weeks and your cells will adapt. There is no such thing as carbohydrate deficiency or we would not be able to surive to this age.
Most of the carby foods are typically nutrient shit. Fiber like psylium exluded and somewhat resistant starch. You better try to avoid all else as your life depends on it.
If you are really serious athlete, do whatever you want honestly. 99.9999999 people are not. Your muscles are sugar pumps in that case (not the teeth though).

Thats because you look at the wrong thing. Seriously fit people in my experience are seriously not that fit when they give me their blood tests.
