As stated above fat and carbohydrate are within certain limits isodynamically replaceable in the diet. But quite apart from the faulty metabolism which would result from a total replacement is the fact that in the case of heavy workers whose intake of energy must be high it would be impossible to consume a sufficient amount of carbohydrate to cover these needs. Due to the necessary bulk of the diet there would be difficulty in the actual act o### eating and there would be difficulty in digestion and in metabolism.
