i think what you say is true for your type of metabolism..and for mine but i can't do 60 carbs a day...maybe 20 most days..one apple or one piece of bread..do both and bad news..i do well any day i have bacon..like a miracle. however, there are people who will not do well on this and they have spoken up..they feel awful, etc. they have a different metabolism and need to probably eat more carbs and perhaps fewr calories..everyone is different.
