Jim,
I really struggle with this as well. While Volek and Phinney indicate
that a truly high fat vlc diet would entail 70 - 80% fat -- they are not
talking about a dairy-free paleo style vlc diet. If one uses heavy cream or
butter and cheese, it's much easier to reach that high fat level without
overdosing on too many omega 6's via olive oil, nuts, avocados etc. I sure wish
they would have included some thoughts on those who want to do a vlc very
high fat diet in a more paleo style without any dairy. So many vlc
advocates wax poetic about the Inuit but the Inuit were not eating dairy.
