I've just started following this diet. I'm trying not to do what I usually do, which is to overanalyze it until it succumbs to the death of a thousand "tweaks."

Since sources seem to vary as to whether the allowed carb grams are .5 or .8 of the allowed protein grams, I'm just using that as a range, until I see what works. Or doesn't work. In fact, if the point of the carbs is to prevent ketosis and make gluconeogensis unnecessary, I don't see the point of a ratio anyway. I doubt that hepatic glycogen storage varies as much as ideal body weight does, and the correlation between the two is probably very weak.

But there I go again...
