Most do not have the luxury to go down to Whole Foods Market and buy the latest grass fed beef and high omega 3 eggs. They do blue collar work, busting their ass all day on a construction site or running for 10 hours in a busy production kitchen. Ever try going low carb under those conditions? I assure you it doesn't work. However, you can do low carb when you don't do anything really stressful or when you're sitting on the sofa watching doctor Phil....try taking it for a test drive in the real world.
