If the carbs are low GI, why worry as long as they are from nutritionally dense veggies. 26 g of fat is OK as long as you are getting < 8 g Omega 6, ~ 3 g Omega 3 & ~ 0.6 g DHA + EPA, very little AA & saturated fat. Use KIM to checkout the Omega stuff (and get your tissue ratio of n6l < 50 %) as Walford's DWIDP doesn't discriminate between PUFAs (Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids) or calculate the rate of tissue uptake of PUFAs. Forget Dr. Sears 30:40:30. It's a pipe dream. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 Hello Everyone, I'm Leonard in L.A., age 65, and I'm just getting started on this. Any tips for a raw recruit? I'm starting in full tilt, after having seen the Alda/Walford interview on PBS the other night. Also someone asked about BMI -- I think 14 is the number to shoot for, not sure though. Looking forward to getting to know everyone, and to reclaiming health! L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Hi Trust, The only ratio i planned was walford's salad which is 63c/16 p/21f, by my analysis of the ingredients. Then i modified it to remove the stuff my system doesn't tolerate and the result was 62/19/20. FYI, in " The Okinawa Program " , pg 425, ref 17, the author states they eat a 55/20/25. Regards. ----- Original Message ----- From: trustinit Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2001 8:12 PM Subject: [ ] my ratios At 1800 calories - these turn out to be my ratios: 65% carb/22% protein/13% fat I was shooting for something different! lol I'm interested in hearing the ratios others have, if you plan a specific ratio and why? Thanks in advance! trustinit __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
