I've been zero carb for 4 years now. I'm more extreme than even Bear was, though. In fact, I think he was wrong about several things involving insulin and protein.

I cannot tolerate more than about 40-45 grams of protein in a day. If I eat more than this, my pancreas freaks out and I get high insulin levels which leads to hypoglycemia. My pancreas also hurts (similar feeling to pancreatitis).

I went zero carb because of severe hypoglycemic reactions to carbs.

All I eat is 40-45 grams of protein. Literally, the rest of my diet is pure animal fat.

This is what led me to study biochemistry in school. I plan to help turn science on its head and demonstrate in a lab setting two things:

1. Saturated fat is the good fat because it is an alkane and is the least likely to oxidize because all carbon atoms are occupied by the maximum number of hydrogen atoms (Bear was right on this point).

2. Carbs are pure poison. In any amount. No different from alcohol (aside from the small amount of alcohol always present in the body).
