LCHF - Low Carb High Fat Diet Ver 2

[McD23]

No stock @ Kalahari. I ordered a copy, but delivery keeps being delayed. I cancelled my order.

 

Bargain Books apparently have copies for sale, so I will try there.

Olympic cycles has some.

So last night I slipped up and smashed a lemon curd tart in my face. It was awesome. However, very interesting to notice that I immediately developed stomach cramps, felt rubbish during my swim this morning and somehow managed to put on a kilogram...

 

Carbs...they are evil little buggers. Pastry is awesome though.

I dreamt of cheating last night, nightmarish...

LOL. Pastry is awesome. I'm definitely going to have to find an alternate pastry dough recipe for shortcrust pastry - quiche, pies, etc etc. Love that stuff. Good thing is that any alternative will automatically have a very high fat content thanks to the butter EDIT: Coconut oil or shortening as well) in the pastry.

 

 

Googling paleo shortcrust...

Dave - Vitality hammers me on BMI every year. I am 1.7m, 75kg which puts me above 25 BMI. They hurt my feelings so badly everytime they tell me that I am OBESE ;-)

 

But my %bodyfat is <10%.

[SimpleDom]

I'm still hungry all the time. I keep carbs below 70g a day, mostly below that. Fat is always at or over 200g per day, and protein around 100g per day. I am doing a lot of riding though. Like 2hrs a day. Question is, more fat? More carbs? Noakes says up to 150-200g per day if training hard?

[Surv0MTB]

More fat if you are still hungry

[MTBeer]

More fat if you are still hungry

what sort of fat? also hungry a lot and I want to up my fat intake as well.

Try some free foods like green veg with meals. I hope you aint just eating 370g a day total. As far as I know the aim is to not starve yourself.

More coconut oil, butter or macadamia/almond butter, or any animal fat as far as I know. I keep droewors and fatty biltong at the ready as well.

 

Will be making some fat bombs tonight

Wait, something isn't right. I think those are net grams or something. They are from an app I use to track eating. Works out at about 3000 kcal per day...

Yep, net grams of fat / protein / carbs. Lombard just got his mind mixed up a bit. A 300g steak does NOT have 300g of protein. Your figures were right, but have no relation to the gross weight of the food that you're ingesting.

[tombeej]

If I'm eating enough, but I'm still hungry because my brain is bored and wants something to snack on (dangerous territory for me), I take a large tablespoon of coconut oil chased by a very large glass of water (500ml +). The combination is deadly - it overrides your satiety sensors and makes you feel very full.

Yes. I misunderstood.
