Certainly 25P/10C/65F
Great!..I understand you...thanks for sharing...yesterday for me was % 18P/9C/58F 1600 cals...I am sedentary and can't walk too well and 75 so I'm playing with calories...am thinking 2000 cals with low carb high fat will keep me happy but pretty satisfied these days w my lower cals because of the fat.
The only time I have rice, a Carnaroli grown locally, is as a condiment to butter and cheese.
I’m glad you are finding what works best for you! I feel like adequate protein has become crucial for me in maintaining muscle as I age! I’m 51 but was expecting some sarcopenia already in my late 40’s. Fats are super easy for me to tolerate compared to carbs and even though I know the science I’m choosing to honor my personal experience. Best to you!
Frankly, I am loosing confidence in
Yes, I’m fighting it all the way. It sadly wasn’t even on my radar until it seemingly happened overnight. I know in reality it was developing gradually over time. I can imagine stroke and leukemia could have an impact. Just 3 weeks of being sedentary with the flu impacted me! It’s crazy how rapidly things can change in middle age and beyond. Keep fighting @bzmazu. The main thing I’ve learned from Peat is to never give up.
You/we are in control Blossom...
using refined calories for energy is a hard paradox to figure out. adequate calories improves T4 to T3 conversion, lowers PTH by normalizing oxidiative metabolism allowing magnesium retention, both of which helps retain vitamins and minerals. but T3 production also requires and uses up those same minerals such as selenium at the same time, white sugar more so than white rice. anorexics in recovery seem to become stable at the point once the body is able to retain those vitamins and minerals adequately, which requires t3, which require those vitamins and minerals...
Wich fats do you consume?
Mainly beef and lamb trimmings and butter. A little coconut oil here and there.
Okay how much fat per day?have you tried grass fed lamb/beef suet and subcutaneous fat,Wich one is your favorite in taste and make you feel the best
I averaged 130 grams over the last week according to cronometer. My trimmings are from grass fed beef and lamb that I get from local farm family. I’ve had suet and like it fine but for practical purposes the lamb and beef fat works out better just because they throw in about 25 pounds for free when I pick up my beef or lamb orders.
Okay,how much honey do you eat?donyou mix it with your meal or eat it separately,did you notice any difference?
Around 6-8 tablespoons. I have it in the morning with my first meal, mix 2 tablespoons in my water that I drink throughout the day and I have some in the evening with my last meal. It helps me stay hydrated and works better for me than zero carbs.
Okay,do you experience negatives feelings if you go higher than that?my diet is pretty much the same except that I eat honey up until it doesn’t taste good anymore,Wich is into the 250 grammes of honey per sitting at minimum lol
To be honest I haven’t tried going any higher yet. I’ve worked my way up to this amount gradually. I’m just taking an extremely cautious approach because when I transitioned before in 2013-2014 I went too fast and ended up with fatty liver, metabolic syndrome and became obese. I was using starch and sugar both at the time though.
Okay,do you eat anything as a calcium source?
