Comments on: The Primal Blueprint Carbohydrate Curve http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-primal-carbohydrate-continuum/ Serving up health and fitness insights (daily, of course) with a side of irreverence.

I have a question about the societal structures and this nutritional information: how long can we continue to eat at the top of the food chain on a regular basis (meat)? Food is going to become much more scarce, with meat being the most expensive because of its high energy-input ratio. I'm not a vegetarian, but I am curious if this is an issue anyone here has thought about. Of course, around this same time, food in general will be less available, so I assume that like Cuba when peak oil hit them, the average citizen lost 20 lbs. The good news, was that farmers and grow-it-yourself movements grew, and the average citizen ate a lot healthier than before. I am also against agribiz. Just speculating about high meat diets, the cost of those food choices, and what we will do when meat is too expensive for the average citizen to eat several servings a day of it. Hello.

Like one day a week eating sweets or things wont ruin your whole diet. Is this true? Can they same be done on a low carb diet?

You also need to be aware of the TYPE of carbs. Some people respond well to the new age carbs such as wheat and potatoes and some respond better to the Paleo lifestyle (sh*t only cavemen were able to eat... such as meat, berries, fruits etc.) Not everyone in this day an age is evolved enough to efficiently handle white bread. *barf* Bingo… weight loss or not, NO ONE really needs more than 100g of carbs per day.

Try sketching out a few meal plans of what you might like on fitday.com and see how they work out calorie-wise Lisa, if you cut the carbs to 50, the calories should take care of themselves.

My problem is though do I just watch how many carbs i take in or do I need to watch how many calories as well? I was planning to take in 1200 calories plus only 50 carbs But i'm finding its going to be hard making meal plans for this. What is your advice?

Many cells such as those in the heart muscle and the cells lining the gut can only use fat for energy.
