Eat More Fat! The Nutritional Ketosis Challenge continues... page 250

I use LOTS of butter to keep my fat high! LOTS! I cook my eggs in 2 TB every morning. I put it on fish when I'm baking or frying - and I put it on veggies.

Hi all. Could you take a look at my food diary for today and see where I can add some fat without adding protein or carbs, and without doing a shot of coconut oil or ingesting any sweeteners? I'm only at 66% for fat.

Thanks!

Jenn, I've been doing the bouillon sometimes with a tablespoon of butter in it.

Gets the fat up, keeps you fuller longer, and by God, it's freaking tasty as all get out.

Yummmmm..........

Hows the wagon ride going? I'm seat belted in!

Jenn, 66% fat is perfectly acceptable for nk...but buttered bouillon is awesome.

The wagon burst into flames so I had to jump off before being incinerated.

That said, it's only once a week and I'm finding I just like a couple of cans
Coors Light and that's it.

WAY better than a whole bottle of wine.....snort.

And way, WAY better than my early 20's which was a BOTTLE
of Bacardi a night.... sometimes it would even be Bacardi 151.

Oh my liver must have hated me.....

Good for you for not letting your husband buy any more rum.

I hope he's keeping up his end of the bargain.

MY husband would buy it anyway, and then give me reasons as
to why we need to cocktail. And anything goes with him:

1.) It's Raining
2.) There are dust particles falling
3.) It's end of quarter
4.) I got a big bonus check
5.) The cat needs brushing
6.) I got home an hour early
7.) The sky is blue
8.) We are breathing

He is a very, very EVIL MAN.

Glad to hear that ^ cuz I have a hard time getting in more fat than that too. In fact I prefer to not go over 70% cuz I don't feel very good if I do. Maybe thats too much for me since I don't have a gall bladder.

I reached 85% for about a week, but I was drinking 2 mega BPCs and felt yucky. I'm a pretty stable 75% right now and eating my calories for the most part.

We looked for bouillon last night at the two stores we have around us in the florida keys and couldn't find anything not loaded with ingredients I couldn't pronounce
Would chicken broth work instead?
Actually slept better last night and don't feel too bad this morning. Hopefully today will be a better day!

Salina13 - I'm in the Keys (totally weird and small world). Where are you? I might be able to help. Are you in the lower keys, middle keys or upper keys?

I can't see your diary because I'm not on MFP, but one of the easiest ways to increase fat is to eat an ounce of macadamia nuts.

I hadn't even thought about those! I have a pound in my pantry that I plan to use to make Fat Bread for the family (ah hell, and myself. Wouldn't mind a nice grilled cheese sandwich. ). I'll add a few and see what that does to my numbers. I remember reading in the Fat Fast cookbook that they're 83% fat or something around there.

That's already on the menu and tracked...

The macadamias bring me up to 70/20/10 perfectly. Thanks for the suggestion!!
