LCHF - Low Carb High Fat Diet Ver 2


Recommended Posts

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

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

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.

Totally agreed.

 

Here is another angle to this. 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!

I hate chicken.  From KFC to what ever.  Not only the thing that I get sick from Chicken, but chicken fat is just nasty!

I have used this recipe a few times:

 

½ cup coconut oil

½ cup butter (Kerry Gold)

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Generous dash MCT Oil

½ teaspoon Maldon salt

3 tablespoons cocoa powder (Nomu Skinny)

3 tablespoons Almond/Macadamia butter

4 tablespoons of dried coconut

That sounds great! I will give it a bash. I think the dried coconut will as a great texture to the snack. Thumbs up!

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?

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 food

4. 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.

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.

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
