Hey Everyone,
This is something I have been playing with lately.
70% Fat, 30% Protein 0% Carbs
To save money, and for a change, I have moved away from eating just grass-fed steak. I was finding it hard to find fatty cuts here in Thailand, as the butchers trim everything so lean.
Lately I have been eating more mince and sausage meat and wild ocean caught fish. I still have a steak every now and then.
Increasing the fat, decreasing the cost
I normally fry 400 - 500gm of sausages, Pigs in Blankets - pork sausages wrapped in bacon are cheap, lamb are nicer but 50% more expensive. I drain the fat into a little jar that I keep in the fridge.
At the market near where I live there is a family who make broth from boiling chicken feet. They make another one from pig spinal column and ribs. Many days I will order one of each.
I dont eat the chicken feet, but give them to my favourite street dogs with the pork bones.
I dissolve a big spoonful of fat from my jar into each broth. I can also add Ghee, (butter with the proteins removed).
The chicken feet soup is loaded with collagen, lately I am training very hard, especially on trying to gain hip flexibility, so I figure the extra collagen might help to prevent and heal injuries.
The Pork bone soup, I am hoping is full of minerals, electrolytes, either way, adding the fat helps me to get a huge high fat meal into my day.
So far I like the way this zero plant fibre, zero carbohydrate way of eating feels. After a celebration day, when I eat some cheese cake, pizza or ice cream, it can take several days to stop craving carbohydrates again. In general though, I enjoy eating only meat till I am full once or twice a day.
I drink water and for a treat I drink soda water, which I may add freshly squeezed lime to.
The only downside, (so far) is that sometime I get terrible body odour, mostly when eating beef. I dropped eggs and cheese out as these seam to make it worse. Fish and Pork seam to be better, no idea why that might be. I do not hear of any other carnivores sharing this problem.
Note: The top photo is of me trying to (and failing) perform a handstand, which is one of the reasons I am working on my hip alignment, flexibility and general body spacial awareness. I actually thought I was vertical, being off centre adds tremendous weight to our actions.
