Living with a 4-item Diet: Power Bars, Bagels, Tomato Juice, & Water

I've run across a lot of experiments supporting low carb diets (which necessarily must be high in fat content because only so much protein can be processed by the body), and other things involving ketosis.

A human can process about 14 grams of alcohol per hour - at 24 hours per day and 7 calories per gram of alcohol, it's theoretically possible to get 2350 calories in alcohol per day. This is probably not an advisable long term diet.

And why is eating on a regular schedule good for the body? How recent in human history was it even possible to do so?

I've never understood why people put forth this argument. (some variation on 'humans have been managing for hundreds of thousands of years doing X')

Humans have been having a life expectancy of about 25-30 years for hundred of thousands of years too. Our ancestry makes for a really lousy benchmark.

huh?

I meant to point out that it's possible to have a low carb - high acohol diet rather than a low carb - high fat diet.

You should really enjoy food. The OP diet sounds rather narrow-minded and boring.
