I have been more or less spontaneously moving in this direction.
Since resuming karate training I find that I need more carbs, in
order to replenish glycogen.  It is simply impossible to do
something like karate without adequate glycogen.  Limbs turn to
rubber and you hit the endurance "wall" too quickly.  I find it
convenient to eat meat and some nuts (less than before, when I
was "paleonutting") during the day, then throw in a substantial
amount of veggies and some fruit at dinner.  So far, this gives
me enough glycogen to get through the karate sessions without
bonking.
