One tablespoon of olive oil per day - a good idea? page

[efficiency]

Hi there!

I just started the primal blueprint diet 4 days ago.

Now i have every plate full of
- raw vegetables (radish, brokkoli, carrots, mushrooms (champions), paprika)
- fruits (blueberries, apples, bananas, mango, strawberries)
- nuts mix
- cooked: eggs or minced meat + carrots or fish
- cooked potatoes (cooked in water with skin)

I will reduce the fruits and also eliminate the potatoes (i will not buy anymore, but i had some left).

But now i am wondering a bit.
If i am correct the diet shall be a high-fat, moderate protein, low carb diet. But i am wondering - where is my fat?
It's not in the veggies, about only 20% of the meat, in eggs, and just the tiny bits of nuts?
Does it rely on avocados?

I got the idea of having few fat when i got hungry pretty quickly again after a meal, like about 2hours later.

These are all side-questions, leading to the main question:
Is drinking one tablespoon of olive oil per day a good idea?
Or more, or less? Directly in front of the meals or after?


thanks, greets!

ps another additional question would be:
I have not seen nuts sold in the supermarket - just this 'nuts mix' of 250gramm - where do you get your nuts?

Back when I was bulking I would drink 10 tbs a day so you can certainly have more. I would avoid getting most of my fats from plants though. Animal fats are far superior.

Check the bakng section of your super market. There should be a variety of nuts there. If not, you can get them online.

Use olive oil, coconut oil, or good and REAL butter (from grass-fed cows) liberally. Start enjoying the non-lean cuts of meat, and definitely don't stick to (for example) just eating chicken breasts. Eat animal fat.

Avocados are also good

Cut down the fruit a bit, you really should only have a few (1-3) servings a day.

Raw veggies are fine, veggies cooked in a lake of butter or bacon grease are better


On nuts - try a more 'whole foods' store or farmer's market.

Coconut in every way shape and form. So many recipes. So good for you. Loads of fat!
