I am presently experimenting with 19/5 or 20/4 fast/feeding but occasionally go for 24h or 48h. Thanks for the recommendation, I don't eat much coconut oil but I might try a switch from cream and see how it goes. Not as nice to drink from the carton tho. Have you tried clarifying your butter to remove the casein? <br />Alan.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17069569385761087022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-3843988287553203472010-03-04T10:01:56.579+02:002010-03-04T10:01:56.579+02:00@Alan,

I do use butter for cooking sometimes, however. But back in the day I just drank heavy cream from the carton.<br /><br />I can push my fat intake pretty high with dark chocolate, preferably 85% cocoa. They do have some carbs, of course, but I can still easily stay under 100 grams carbs if I want to. I wouldn't be surprised if there was something in cocoa polyphenols that helps keep weight down.<br /><br />I also use olive oil for just about everything. I don't get sick of it the same way as I do of coconut oil. Have you tried medium-chain triglyceride oil? I've heard good things about it (seems to increase metabolic rate), but they don't sell it where I'm from.<br /><br />Do you exercise while fasting, by the way?JLLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200324973565346888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-58581206435754152542010-03-04T09:16:44.352+02:002010-03-04T09:16:44.352+02:00JLL

I love your idea of adding fat as I really enjoy it. What would you suggest tho, increasing cream, (which I love but this adds carbs too) or maybe butter? <br /><br />"I can really only speak for myself, but increasing fat intake (sometimes to ridiculous amounts) and cutting back on carbs decreased my bodyfat significantly.I was lean before, but now it's 6-8%."<br /><br />I would love to see 8%.<br />I'm interested in what constitutes a ridiculous amount. I'm not asking for a diet but what would you suggest I include?

I was lean before, but now it's 6-8%. <br /><br />Your diet seems very prudent; only thing I can suggest is to leave dairy products (especially cheese) alone for a while and see what happens. I've seen people on the traditional Atkins diet (including dairy) lose a lot of weight at first but still cling on to that belly fat. I, too, seem to be able to eat endless amounts of cheese. <br /><br />Genetics and age most likely have some effect here also; at least in women, insulin sensitivity partly determines whether they gain more weight eating carbs or eating fat. <br /><br />"My question is should I lower dietary fat to make the body consume adipose body fat? I have the idea that eating fat will make the body chose it in preference to body fat. Is this valid?"<br /><br />I don't know all the biochemical details to answer this properly, but it's certainly not my personal experience and not what I've seen in people around me. For me, eating more fat and less carbs results in reduced adipose fat. Besides, if you eat carbs instead of fat, then the body will choose to use that energy instead of body fat.<br /><br />Your estimate of protein intake varies greatly; if it's only 15% on some days, perhaps increasing it to 20% would help. Also, have you tried drinking green tea with meals? That should help if insulin is a problem.<br /><br />- JLLJLLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200324973565346888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-50527291124730573962010-03-03T08:52:18.038+02:002010-03-03T08:52:18.038+02:00What's your take on fat consumption when body ...What's your take on fat consumption when body fat reduction is the goal? I have been low carb high fat for over a year now and my aim was to reach 10% BF in that time. While I have lost some fat and gained muscle (I workout 4 X a week) I haven't lost the belly fat I wanted to. I eat paleo, meat, cheese, butter, cream, eggs, coconut oil etc and 24hr IF 2-3 times a week and occasional 48 hours. I consider I'm in a deficit and FitDay agrees as I'm usually between 1000-2000 cal depending on fasting or not. Usually about 60%-80% fat 35%-15% protein. I never feel hungry or the need to binge. <br />I am a 53yo male bi-lateral amputee (R arm, R leg) who apart from weight lifting 3-4x a week lead a fairly sedentary lifestyle. I don't enjoy much in the carbohydrate world and don't eat grains or potatoes etc only some green leafy veggies. My question is should I lower dietary fat to make the body consume adipose body fat? I have the idea that eating fat will make the body chose it in preference to body fat. Is this valid?

In contries with lots of sun, where olive oil is a traditional part of the diet, this is of no concern because the vitamin D produced from the exposure to the sun, but in northern contries this easily becomes a very serious health problem.

Heat the palm oil and sesame oil in a pan<br />2. Add the chopped garlic and onion and sauté for a few minutes<br />3. Add the salmon (I use frozen), the tomatoes and the coconut milk<br />4. Add the chopped zucchini<br />5. Add spices (I use turmeric, jeera, cloves, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and black pepper)<br />6. Cook under high temperature for a few minutes or until some of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce is thicker<br />7. Reduce temperature and let simmer for a while<br />8. Add shrimps and let simmer for a minute<br />9. Put on plate, add plenty of olive oil<br /><br />You can use fresh salmon (chop it into cubes before adding), or frozen cubes, or a frozen block (I just roughly chop it into cubes with a spatula when it has melted in the plan).JLLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200324973565346888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-19905087742108560792009-08-03T21:34:57.573+03:002009-08-03T21:34:57.573+03:00I would very much like to know how exactly all the...I would very much like to know how exactly all these are prepared, as I can see more than one course in this meal.
