Big Red...

Very interesting....but if this is the way you've been eating for the past 6 years, it sounds more like Atkins induction instead of the HAI diet. On HAI, they don't recommend that you go below 60 grams of carb per day and, in fact, recommend that daily carb intake be kept between 60 and 100 grams of carb per day (I got this information from their website). From what you posted, I think you'd be lucky to be getting 20 grams of carb per day; 30 at the most. Also...the amount of fats you are eating are not terribly high (compared to what a lof of folks here are eating, they're actually on the low side). There doesn't seem to be much room for cutting any more out unless you go practically fat-free and if you do that, your body is likely to start producing its own cholesterol which is typically the bad LDL kind. Still...I wish you luck in your quest to improve those numbers.
