So, I've recently switched to a Peat-inspired diet.
I'm now consuming:
18 ounces of ground beef (I have to eat at least this much because if I eat less, I get hypoglycemic lows)
2 quarts of whole milk (I know Peat does 1%, but I will get to why I do this in a second)
1 quart of various juices (Orange, Blueberry, Pear, Pomegranate, Cranberry...I like to mix it up)
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
I had to stop eating gelatin. I have severe digestive problems to the point at which I can't even eat potatoes or white rice without get seriously bloated and sick. Gelatin causes similar issues.
So, my problem is the fat intake. I am getting about 137 grams of fat (most of it saturated obviously), 154 grams of protein, and 200-250 grams of carbohydrates (all from milk and juice, sometimes I consume more than a quart of juice if I am stressed). The fat intake is sort of a hold over from my ketogenic days. I don't feel good unless I consume enough fat.
I have read a lot here and have heard from Peat's interviews that you should limit the fat intake. However, when I do this, my stress hormones kick into high gear, even while consuming a lot of sugar. I feel hypoglycemic without enough fat even though my glucose isn't really low because the stress hormones get so high.
I am afraid if I continue eating this much fat that I will put on a ton of weight.
Any advice?
