I think it is very hard to get enough fat on a low carb diet without using dairy fat - and I think this is what most low-carbers crave no? I am talking about more than 70% fat from diet.

I think it's always the fat we crave. I can't think of a single food that people crave that doesn't have a large amount of fat in it, or else doesn't have a fake fat texture, like licorice/Red Vines-type candy.
What I've discovered is you can get to 70% + fat by keeping protein down. Once you start thinking about restricting protein, it's amazing how the fat percentage of your diet naturally goes up -- you start looking for the fattiest cuts of meat, cooking with oil (I use butter, but oil would work if you are trying to eliminate dairy), and so on. |
