I found your reply very interesting and helpful, thank you! So, can I ask why it's important to double the carbs to protein? The suggestions for taking B-vitamins was helpful as well, I do have some B-vitamins but I get a weird metallic taste when I take them so I don't care for them very much....wonder why the metallic taste?
Can I ask what all you ate when you did the VLF?
I will read up on Taurine as well and consider getting some.
So when you advised getting in one fat meal a week or so, do you mean to take supplemental A,E,K,D vitamins or just a higher fat meal that has those in it?
The ratio of Protein:Carb is different for different people (once again the ONLY source of success is experimentation and response to your data)
Double is a reasonable place to start.
the reason most require more carb than protein is because protein REQUIRES carbohydrate for metabolism and you'd prefer not to use glycogen stores to metabolize your current meal.
Some will require a 1:1 ratio others 4:1 carbs: protein.
experiment, document and respond
no matter how much our thinking wants to avoid this fact it is unavoidable
