fwah sho chim.
part 4 coming soon.
actually quite chim, if cannot eat butter, also cannot eat pork belly, lard, pork crackling?
so only can eat fatty sea fish
As I've posted before, eating saturated fats together with meat, be it beef, pork, lamb or chicken is healthy for most people. BUT if you eat saturated fats by itself as snacks, then you're asking for trouble. Just like people who drink coconut oil... cooking with butter, coconut oil with food is OK, taking them by themselves it not OK.
If your lipid profile isn't ideal after you embark on the LCHF diet, then you just need to tweak it to suit you. Remember, you must make the diet work for your health, not the other way around. And the only way that you know how to tweak is know what food and supplements reduce inflammation, triglycerides & LDL & increase HDL. Also hi fat doesn't mean just saturated fat - it means saturated and unsaturated fats.
For myself, I ensure that I alternate between grass fed butter and extra virgin olive oil (EVOL) when cooking; I'm not particularly fond of the taste of coconut oil so I seldom use it. I also supplement with double distilled Omega 3 fish oil so I've covered all my bases re the hi fat part.
Don't forget the other 2 macros - protein & carbs. I eat lots of eggs, fish, seafood, chicken, grass fed beef and some pork. I subscribe to paleo so I get my carbs from vegetables & fruits. These are important because of the micro-nutrients and fiber that you get from them.
If and when I do have hunger pangs, I munch on raw nuts which is also hi fat, medium protein & low carb.
Easy right?
So i eat butter + meat is ok =D
and the fat profile for EVOL equivalent to Coconut Cream?
I made Coconut Cream Yogurt
and I eat Coconut Cream alone too
1 serving 200g (this will replace my butter serving too)
I agree that the articles are not conclusive but then again, to many folks, curbing hunger pangs would be eating a snack or small meal - and snacking on butter is, to me, definitely in excess especially when it is done very often. Moderation means different things to different people and there is always the tendency for people to take things to the extreme in the name of moderation. I've got lots of friends my age (50s) who eat "moderately" and have landed up with lifestyle diseases.
Saturated fat when eaten taken as part of a whole food eg steak, lamb chop, fried with an omelette is healthy; however when it's just eaten on its own will tend to be excessive and may lead to screwing lipid profiles just like eating fatty fish is healthy while taking 30 caps of fish oil is not.
Saturated fats raise HDL (the “good”) cholesterol and change LDL from small, dense (bad) to Large LDL, which is mostly benign. Overall, saturated fats do not harm the blood lipid profile like previously believed.
this thread the content jin chim nowadays...
pruss one 1st...
thats why i rarely participate liao
That's why just plus one only.
Considering how lchf revolves around increasing the intake of fats, the fact that you are constantly emphasising on the 'excess' part really puzzles me. Fats is much more filling than carbs so I see no reason to 'overeat' here, unless fats is like caffein to you.
Moreover, you seem to have the common misconception of mainstream nutritionists that put a very bad name on saturated fats. You seem to adore facts presented by authoritynutrition, so here's one article http://authoritynutrition.com/saturated-fat-good-or-bad/ you might want to have a look to get yourself educated.
I quote the most relevant point from that article.
In the mean time, I shall continue to snack on anchor.
Bottom Line: A subset of individuals do experience increased cholesterol on a low-carb diet, especially if it is ketogenic and ultra high fat. This includes elevated LDL, Non-HDL and important markers like LDL particle number.
I think while we shouldn't fear saturated fats, there is probably no reason to go overboard bah i.e. purposely search out very high fat foods...hahah
These days I just listen to my body and eat when I am hungry, stop when I am full...
BPC works for some and not for others - tweak and see what works best for you
Personally, I don't do BPC cos I already take butter and EVCO on their own...hahah
Plus I don't have brain fog nor do I get extra energy from drinking BPC - which I think is a chore to make
