I was eating around 2500 calories a day,that was to appetite, that's about 250 grams of fat per day. 329 grams a day--that would be an overfeeding experiment for me. Which is what maybe makes it more of a hack to trick your doctor/insurance, rather than a practical intervention. It works, maybe, because it is overfeeding--and greatly reduces the liver's role of supplying triglycerides to various tissues. |
I can't wait to try this and just checked out his site again, he didn't really give any menus, but I love his cartoons. I regularly have beef tallow around, farmers pork skin/fat, and the usual avocados, coconut oil, etc. Fish? I could slide the sardines and the olive oil right on to the plate, with a bit o kale for a garnish. My favorite LC version of BLT, is a chopped salad with bacon, mayo (avocado oil), and the rest. I have used bacon fat to make the mayo in the past, but maybe I could just mix in extra bacon fat with the mayo. This could be fun. Of course, I,m 36 hours into a fast right now, so maybe I shouldn't be thinking about all this eating.
