I’ve been reading some articles/blogs that stress eating more fat with my diet. While this goes against what we’ve been taught like forever, it makes sense. It seems that eating less fat does nothing for helping me lose weight. I already restrict my carbs, though I need to even more. We already know that some fats are good - like fatty fish and omega rich olive oil and nuts. So now they’re saying to eat more animal fat. Last week, I made a roast which lasted about 4 days. I had some for dinner each day. This was a chuck roast (quite marbled and high in fat). My weight went down those days. So, this kinda makes sense. I have been eating cottage cheese every day for breakfast. Yesterday at the store, I bought full fat cottage cheese, and some butter (yeah, they say butter is good too). When I buy milk again, I’ll probably go to 2%. I’m not a big fan of whole milk. I’ll see how this works for a week or two. The trouble is, that it’s Christmas time and there’s going to be cookies and crap at the office all next week and that defeats the ‘avoid the carbs’ plan. Another thing to wonder is if I’ll dump. The first few months after surgery, I couldn’t eat things that were high in fat.
