If low carb is stupid, why do you do it? I'm not saying NO carb. That's different than low-carb. But when I get the majority of your energy from fats and proteins, I don't find that I even have room for carbs. I'm too full. I eat around 20-30% of my diet as carbs, and 40% as fat. That's low-carb, but not *no carb*.
Disagree re: hard to maintain. I outlined why earlier in this thread.
