Greek religion, having no creed, did not proselytize. In the heyday of the polis, the Greek religion was spread by the founding of new poleis, whose colonists took with them part of the sacred fire from the hearth of the mother city and the cults of the cityâs gods.
According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, carbohydrates should make up 45 to 65 percent of a person's total daily calorie intake. Any amount less than this could be considered low carb. For someone consuming 2,000 calories a day, this is about 225 to 325 grams of carbohydrates per day. Most low-carb diets limit carbohydrate intake to between 50 to 150 grams per day, depending on the diet.
This means eating 180 grams of carbs daily for a 1,600-calorie weight-loss diet, and consuming 135 grams of carbohydrates per day for a 1,200-calorie weight-loss plan. These values are generally classified as low-carb but still fall within the Institute of Medicine recommendations.ecoming familiar with carbohydrate content in foods can help you limit your carb intake by controlling portion sizes. High-carb foods to limit or avoid include sugar, sweets, pastries, honey, molasses, syrups, ice cream and refined grains such as white bread.
