lol also I just realized a paradox… zero carbs is not low in carbs! Low carb is low carb if high fat… high protein is the reality of zero carbs, and it provides carbs by gluco-neo-genesis!


In a way it is like ruminants' diet: they are low in fats aren't they?

No. Not in their fuel burning: they burn fats, produced by bacterias in their guts.


So it is not about what we eat, but what we burn as a fuel.


Also gorillas and most apes are running on the fats they they produce in their LONG colon, much longer than ours, and this is the lie of the vegan who say we should eat like them. We just cannot. I have found that the maximum SCFA our colon can provide us give 500Kcal a day. And according to our microbiome, can we all do it?


In that case we need to eat high in fats, to get from direct food what our guts cannot produce.


But some people need some carbs, and at the same time cannot eat them, for gut and microbiome reasons. In that case, I find that replacing carbs by animal proteins is a good idea.
