Grondpad Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 What recipes do you guys use for your favourite fat bombs? A quick one is the 1 TB of CO + TB of KG + some skinny nomu. I always keep some on hand but would like to try something else
Oxter Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) I used to add some macadamia butter, but that stuff got really expensive lately. I add a espresso shot every now and then just to change the taste a bit Edited January 12, 2015 by Oxter
SimpleDom Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Here's the thing. I get excited about fat from lamb, beef, pork, or duck. Chicken fat however, I just can't do. I can eat skin, no problem. But the fat deposits in the chicken.... I just can't.

I am so sick of fat I can become a vegeterian.  I am sickened by the thought. I used to love it when I was trying to avoid it! Edited January 12, 2015 by DieBees HappyMartin 1

Grondpad Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 KG???  I'm guessing KerryGold butter... Yes, its Kerrygold butter. Sorry, I should have stopped my lazy ass from typing like that deanbean 1

I will give it a bash. I think the dried coconut will as a great texture to the snack. Thumbs up!
Maniax Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I am new to the LCHF scene. My wife and I started with Paleo in a couple of weeks ago.  Surprisingly, I am doing quite ok going without wheat and sugar and the other nasties (preservatives etc). What I am struggling with is racing food.  Usually, I would carbo load with pasta the night before, oats and eggs in the morning, and chocolate, glucose, and gels on the road. Now, I can't and am at a total loss what to eat!  For Last Sunday's Argus route ride, I did eggs and my own version of a energy smoothy (bulgarian yogurt, honey, peanut butter (naughty I know) and bananas) in the morning which worked well.  But as for the food on the bike, I reverted to the old ways (32GI drink, protein bar, date square, peanuts/raisins and granola bars).  What is best for before, on and after the bike? Edited January 13, 2015 by Maniax
DaleE Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I am new to the LCHF scene. ..... What is best for before, on and after the bike? Morning and Welcome  If we had a FAQ, this would be the number 1 question ... a little search through the archives will provide many opinions and different strategies for the different kinds of events.For the sake of brevity, the general consensus round here seems to be like this:1. get properly fat adapted (2-3 weeks)2. train on water alone.3. ditch gels and bars, eat real food4. when racing if you feel the need for food or energy, use some form of real food carbs that you like. banana, cashews, raisins, muffins in the half hour before and during the event ... go search for the detail of glut4 receptors if you want more info on why this is not harmful to your low-carb-fat-adapted state.5. remember to separate nutrition and hydration - powdered mixes in your bottle are a bad idea.
DaleE Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Forgot to add ... After a ride, eat when hungry. Eat real food, follow LCHF principles (low carb, high fat, moderate protein).  If you are trying to become fat adapted, try to stay away from too much protein in the hour directly after exercise. Coffee with cream, high fat yoghurt, macadamia nuts are all good if you need a snack.
rpedro Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I am quite surprised at my weight loss over the holidays. LCHF mostly went out the window, but I still managed to lose 1kg.This despite no riding due to injury, and drinking too much beer.I guess that the habits, and not eating bread and sugar stood me in good faith. I experienced the very same effect. And now that I'm back on the straight and narrow it seem to have enabled me to drop past my previous low where I was stuck :-O
