Butter and weight loss page 2

Butter is food and high in vitamins and CLA. I hate when people try to claim that butter is somehow not "food."

it's food, and pastured butter can be a good component in a healthy diet, but i would not go so far as to say it's "high" in vitamins.

The only reason I could see it being a hindrance to weight loss for you would be if you had any sensitivity to dairy. Sometimes, when someone is allergic to something that they are unaware of, it can make them hold on to unwanted weight -- but not always.

yeah I wouldn't say it's high in anything besides calories. Unenriched white rice has more nutrients and that's basically the definition of empty calories.

Butter is awesome.... embrace it.

Allright. Thanks for the responses everyone! I decided to use a little butter to cook ( mostly eggs for breakfast), and see how it goes. i will count my calories for a few weeks and adjust the cuantity.

It's definitely the best tasting fat. I only really use it with onions and mushrooms though

I've never skimped on butter and have lost 30 lbs. You're more likely to gain using EVOO vs. butter according to Mary Fallon due to the long chain vs. medium chain triglycerides.

I eat a stupid amount of butter. I feel better when I am completely dairy free, but I always go back to eating butter. I find it very satiating.

I too am a firm believer in eating good fats. I have tried a few times to start eating coconut oil, but it makes me really nauseous! I have tried to decrease the amount I take, take it with food, with tea etc…nothing works. It makes no different if it is morning or evening either. Have you experienced this? Thoughts?

Nothing wrong with butter from grass fed cows Of course it all comes down to portion control. I do tend to only use it to cook my pork chops though!
