You are correct. All food should be eaten raw for maximum nutrients. For foods that must be cooked, they recommend rare, or at worst, medium rare. You get fat, protein and amino acids from the low carb diet. That is why low carb doctors recommend supplements. Much more vitamins and nutrients without the carbs.
