I should also caveat that with my blood work is also great.

Trans fats are bloody terrible for you. Don't eat them. Saturated fats aren't the best, but should not be avoided - in the case of red meat you can't avoid them.

I've eaten this way for quite a while. People get stuck in to much of a mind set that carbs are important and need to be eaten in large %s to get anywhere.

Its a massive cultural problem, (eating grains), however, each to their own. I spend a fair bit of my time looking at this stuff, not for a job, but a hobby. I agree protein works better when ingested with carbs, if timed correctly, hence post workout nutrition is very important. That'd be ignorant of me to not admit.

At low carbs, your body doesn't eat itself. Like you noted, its due to lack of calories. At low protein intake your body does. I eat ~2900 calories a day.

We both, we all agree, that its important that the food you do eat is timed right and not rubbish.
