As in, making a very concerted effort to consume considerably more fat that protein or carbohydrate?
I ask because I would like to know your experiences, because I'm craving fat like a bastard right now. I just ate eggs with a huge knob of butter and my body is going:
Goodness me I'm tempted to do it too. I don't know if the neighbours would appreciate me jiggling around naked, covered in ghee, screaming about the wonders of butterfat from my balcony...Holland is, believe it or not, quite conservative. *laugh*
"Yeah, that was good, but what I want you to do right now is to melt a shit-ton of butter, add a little salt then drink it. Yes, you heard me. Drink the butter. Eat it with your hands so it drips between your fingers, then rub it on your face and through your hair. REVEL IN THE FAT!"
I've got some pork shoulder in my fridge right now and I'm so tempted to cook up more than I could possibly eat and drown that sumbitch in lard. If only I could find a place that sells lard! I would make a lard milkshake! Lard cake! The only thing that's keeping me together is the fact that for dinner I'm going to be making meatza, and the beef and cheese fat that drips off of that is gorgeous. Just five hours till a fatty dinner, Beastie. You can keep it together that long!
I've never craved fat like this before! If I lived in a country where stores were actually open on a Sunday, I'd have strapped on my Vibrams a good couple of hours ago looking for animals fats. I've never felt this driven to get something before - actually I lie. I've felt this driven for carbs, I never thought I'd feel this way about saturated fat. My body obviously needs it so if I still feel this way tomorrow, I'm going to have to look at a solution.
I'm hoping though that by eating fat by the fleet, I won't end up like this:
I don't know for sure what his diet consists of, but Peter at Hyperlipid eats a high fat diet ...

I think I've had phases of high fat - but then again I'm really not certain what's justified as a truly high fat diet. (I mean let's face it - you show a steadfast CW adherent the nutrition label on a container of coconut oil and they look at you like you are out of your mind...and i used to be that way!).
ReplyDeleteI guess my carb-cravings have been coming around more since its summer and (though I've always been a wintery food-type of person lol, this summer Im very pro-cucumbers,salads, etc.) for some reason I'm not craving fat at all! Which is upsetting! I want to - as you say - revel in the fat! lol.
Last summer when I was probably the closest to high fat it was great because my energy felt so much more sustained and I didn't have to fuss so much over what I ate. which is definitely ideal. High fat five!
Hey Andrea - thanks for your really long comment on my previous post! It was really informative! Now I need to find out what Dutch for 'naturopath' is :) There is an alternative health centre just up the road from me, actually. I should go visit them - see what services they offer.
ReplyDeleteRaspberry - I hear you - I much prefer winter food to summer food, but now that it is summer, I have actually been craving light veggie dishes - which is why I'm surprised I felt like fat so much. It's not like I need it to keep warm.
I tend to lots of fat, I think the last time I tracked it in fit day I was eating roughly 60% -70% fat and I love it. It fills me up and I have a ton of energy. I do know that if you are not used to eating a lot of fat it can mess with your digestion (I just read your most recent post)- hrrmmm. .. trying to find where I saw that, as soon as I find it, I'll send it along to you.
ReplyDeleteHow much you been eating lately. Have you been really strict? Sounds almost like binge behaviour?
