Ben Pakulski follows almost eveyrthign he says, and Ben Pakulski is also a very educated person (Kinesiology degree) and agrees with teh high fat breakfast, and that carbs are not necessarily needed, which they aren't.. It's good to have carbs to keep your brain going obviously cause it runs strictly on carbs, but doesn't mean 40-50% of your calories should come from carbs... I'm having my carbs at right times and when I'm studying I'll have small amount of low glycemic carbs not to spike my insulin and to keep my brain working: Apples, oranges, grapefruit, strawberry, mixed berries, etc.
