LCHF - Low Carb High Fat Diet Ver 2


Recommended Posts

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.

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%.

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?

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.

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.

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.
