have a great deal of difficulty getting  enough when limiting carbs and  
protein.


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.
