QuestionHow do you feel about avocado and coconut as raw fats on a paleo/primal diet. Do you think they are effective in rebuilding as well as chelating as A.V. states What is the max amount of carbs one can have in a day to effectively reach ketosis and burn body fat?
AnswerRe Coconuts/avocado:- I didn't personally experience any definite health improvements as a result of eating coconuts or avocadoes near the start of this diet - I generally view animal-fats as being healthier, in general. On the other hand, the latest craze among raw-foodists is for getting hold of raw vegetable-oils such as coconut-oil/avocado oil and palm-oil - and several rawists swear by them. All I can suggest is that you experiment with small amounts of them to see if there's any effect.
Re ketosis/maximum amount of carbs:- This will vary from individual to individual - most ketosis-oriented diets recommend staying at a maximum of 20g of carbs a day, in order to ensure ketosis, although ketosis can sometimes be maintained at as much as 60g of carbs a day. If one wants to avoid being in a constant state of ketosis, 100g a day is about enough.
