Author	Topic: Minimum fat intake
Giedre 02-03-2003 06:29 PM	Dear Wai, would you be so kind as to write what is the minimal fat intake in this diet? Is it ok if it is about 30 percent or even lower? I know you recommend to take 1 g fat to every 2 g carbohydrates, but would my blood levels fluctuate badly if I modified this intake to ratio 1 g fat to 4 g carbohydrates? As I have mentioned before,I have no acne and as I understood blood levels does not affect cellulite much. Thank you

Just make sure to keep on paying close attention to it; always stay alert for signs of too much fluctuating blood sugar levsls (irritations, moodswings, fatigue).
