Every time I've tried to go low fat in the past I've ended up feeling extremely hungry between meals.
First it was when I went low carb and was in the depths of "Restrict All Food At All Costs" in an effort to lose weight as fast as possible and that only ended up in a rebound where I binged my face off after losing my period. Was basically eating meat and greens and occasional spritzes of olive oil because I wasn't clued into the Keto ideology and didn't know I had to add fat where I removed carbs. Was more informed by a Whole30 approach and thought sugar and food sensitivities were what was making me fat.
Then I got really into a WFPB way of eating after watching Forks Over Knives and was swayed only by the testimonials on their website. Got really good at making vegan substitutions. Ate a lot of tahini and lentils and brown rice. Still had milk in my coffee though because anyone who is at least a little bit honest w themselves knows that none of the plant based milks come close.
Found 180 Degree Health through the website Eat Like A Normal Person and devoured it all. Bought butter. Lots of it. Gained about 20 pounds. Freaked out and started reading a lot of Ray Peat.
This all happened over the course of two years. Two years of learning just absolutely way more than any sane person needs to know about nutrition.
I'm trying to get to a better place now and I don't really follow any eating rules except trying to avoid PUFAs/seed oils at all costs. I try to find good fruit when I can but I don't quibble about it if I can. I've noticed that I feel better when I focus on getting a good amount of animal protein so I do that. I get a carrot salad in when I remember and take K2 MK4.
Back to my original question and my most pressing concern: what's the safest way to get rid of PUFA and do I have to wade into the waters of restriction again?
I believe that I have a not insignificant amount of PUFA stored in my tissues from growing up in North America in the 90s. Snacks were goldfish after school even though we ate fresh vegetables and meat for dinner. I picked up a container of baby formula the other day and it had soybean oil listed in the ingredients. PUFA happened.
Any advice you can give would be appreciated.
