I actually did a few weeks on a very high cream diet. Maybe that helped with my liver function as well.
I'm avoiding fat because the fat you eat is pretty much the fat you store. I don't mind if I end up burning some of my stored pufa.
I need to lose over 100 pounds. Waiting for my body to "detox" what is likely 50 pounds of stored pufa is not really an option.
So I need to get it out of my body with the most minimal thyroid damage possible and as soon as possible. (thinking supplemental zinc might be helpful here)
Do you all know of anyone who has gone from obese to normal weight following Peat eating principles?
Well I lost 50 lbs. is that enough to convince you? :) that's what that article was I included with my last post.
Yes zinc can help, just don't overdo it. Zinc isn't a specific weight loss tool. Incidentally shrimp is great for weight loss. Just cook it in butter and drink coffee with it to the bind iron.
High-butter isn't a passive "detox" technique. It's actually very active. I lost 50 lbs in 8 months, and it would have been faster if I'd taken more. It's active because the fats in butter stimulate the metabolism and stabilize local thyroid function, and in turn incorporate those fats into cellular structure as the increased metabolic rate increases cell turnover rate, healing damage faster and faster. It will be exactly as effective as you keep butter/dairy/coconut oil higher in ratio to sources of PUFA.
This is also not an Atkins type strategy. Fruits, veggies and sugar should still be an important part of the diet. Just avoid grains and PUFAS.
