I am very new to low carbs.

As I asked, can you really eat as much fat as you want? Bacon has no carbs, but is loaded with fat. Could I eat a pound of it and still lose weight? Could you eat 5,000 calories of protein and fat a day and still lose weight? Just wondering. I doubt I could even stomach that.

I must admit, though, I did discover that fat is not as yummy without a carb accompanying it.

I'm trying to figure what 5,000 calories of meat would look like. Probably 10 pounds of steak :lol: You can eat until you are full at each meal on low carbs and keep the calories down around 1,200 to 1,400 a day. Remember this: sugar has no fat. You could eat 5 pounds of sugar and have no fat. Would you gain weight?
