Most of the high(er) fat discussions revolve around very low carb intake and perhaps the correct amount of protein vs fat. Who has used a moderate fat / moderate carb diet with success? Is this one of those things that really only works when you go very low carb? I'd like to hear from those who have actually done this. Let's limit the discussion of keto pros & cons. There are plenty of threads on that topic. I'd like to focus on higher fats while still eating low / moderate carbs.
I'm only in the planning stages, but next month I may try: 250gm carb, 285gm pro, 115gm fat. This is a ratio of 32c/36p/32f -- almost isocaloric. Total calorie wise this is very close to my current diet of 285 carb, 340 pro, 75 fat (36c/43p/22f).
Note: I count all macros including carbs from veggies, protein in rice, fat in oats, etc. Everything listed in the nutrition facts gets loaded into my spreadsheet.
