Thoughts on High/Unlimited carbs + very low fat ?
-
Something like 400 gram carbs or more + 5 gram total fat + below 1 gram PUFA ?

@Ray-Peat-Fanboy I would suggest to have at least 30 g of fat for the hormones production. Even if you will low fat milk you will get about 10 - 20 grams of fat a day.
But otherwise yes, high carb + low fat is a good approach.
-
@Ray-Peat-Fanboy wouldn’t go lower than 40g fat, don’t want to tank your hormones.
-
@Ray-Peat-Fanboy what would that look like food wise, just out of curiosity?
-
Very large amount of potatoes considering potatoes are one of the lowest fat sources of carbs you could possibly find. Potatoes can have up to 10 - 30 times less fat than bread or pasta per weight.
Lots of white sugar/coca cola . Sugar is litteraly 0 gram fat.
1 quart of 0,1 % or 0,2 % ultra low fat milk
-
@Ray-Peat-Fanboy this was the basis of my peat intervention. While I would sometimes crave higher fat, eating more meat to deliver it was unpleasant. Since adding a daily egg nog consisting of 2 cups whole milk and 6 egg yolks, and 1 cup of cane sugar, temps up, libido up, feel more calm. This does represent a good portion of total daily calorie intake.
