At least in the UK it's recommended that the average male consume 2500 calories per day. I have a really hard time coming up with something close to that without carbohydrates - am I just being unimaginative? How do you solve this problem? How much fat is it reasonable to eat? (I'm sure this is covered in detail in Taubes' work - unfortunately I haven't found a short summary of his ideas).
- kowen 17y agoI can't remember the percentages that Taubes suggests. Personally, I solve it by replacing carbs with fat - but without actually measuring. I just eat plenty of flavorful food (and drench my veggies in butter). Mark Sisson has written about fats in the diet here: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/saturated-fat-healthy/ http://www.marksdailyapple.com/saturated-fat-healthy/ The general idea floating around on his forum seems to be "when in doubt, eat more fat".
- kingkongreveng_ 17y agoI would find it almost impossible to eat low carb without dairy. But it's fairly easy with whole fat yogurt and half & half.
