I am trying to follow the low carbohydrate way of eating where the bulk of energy comes from fat instead of glucose. My reason is health. Our bodies do not store glucose, any excess is stored as saturated fat. To access that stored fat is very difficult when the primary source of energy is carbohydrates. My experience is that fat keeps me satiated much longer. I try to keep my carbohydrate intake to 60-100g/day. Whole grains or grain products I am trying to minimise because ol gluten and lectin effects on health. The fats that I avoid are trans and PUFA omega-6 fats.
