Who else isn't afraid of consuming fat?

i like fatty foods x but dont over do it

Almost half of my caloric intake is fat.

I am pretty consistently at 66% of my calories being fat. And I lost 2.9% body fat in 25 days eating this way. I fat!

`

Fat - yum. I've been eating low carb, gluten free, for about 7 months or so. My macronutrients are roughly Fat=60%, Protein=30%, Carbs=10% on a daily basis. And my carbs all come from vegetables. I almost never eat rice or root vegetables, and absolutely never eat corn, wheat, barley, etc. Since eliminating grains and gluten from my diet, and dramatically increasing my fat intake, I have:

- lost 30 lbs
- dropped my cholesterol by 60 points
- doubled my HDL from 22 to 41
- dropped my fasting morning blood glucose from 135 to 107
- dropped my BP from 144/90 to 114/70
- dropped my resting heart rate from 80'ish to 65
- have gotten rid of my continuous problems with heartburn

And much more ....

Starting nearly 3 weeks ago, I added Bulletproof coffee to my diet .... 8 oz good coffee, 2 tbsp grassfed butter and 2 tbsp coconut oil (65% MCT) + I add 1 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa cause I like the health benefits of cocoa and the taste .... as someone else noted, that's a lot of "good fat" in a very concentrated form. From 6 AM to noon, my macronutrients are Fat = 97%, Protein = 2%, Carb = 1% :-D

If it came from the earth or had a mother, I am not afraid of it.

If it came from a lab or has word Monsanto associated with it, I am scared to death of it.

wow, couldn't have said it better . . .

I embrace fat, sauteed my veggies in bacon drippings last night (only 1 T.), just had toast with mashed avocado and a "whole" egg for breakfast and steadily losing 1.5-2 lbs/week. All things in moderation (and I agree, fat IS flavor)!!!!

My boyfriend made bacon wrapped chicken two weeks ago. I wanted to boil carrots as a side, but he threw them in the pan with the chicken to "save dishes"... The drippings made there way over to the carrots and needless to say, I now want bacon roasted carrots every day for the rest of my life!!! P:

I'm not afraid of fat because I'm trying to keep my curves.

So glad to see this thread. I'm love me some fatty foods.

I'm trying to get over my fear of fat.

I grew up when "health food = low fat", so it is kind of hard to get over that mindset. Plus, my cholesterol is a touch high right now, so I am avoiding hydrogenated products and trying to limit my red meat consumption to an extent. [Yes, I know, cholesterol from food doesn't contribute much to my cholesterol. But it isn't zero, so I do try and limit it.] But I'm supplementing with fish oil too, and trying to eat some healthy fats.

fat scares me.... I wish it didnt but it completely wigs me out. I used to only get 2-7 grams. I'm working my way to 40. I don't want to go over it ever.

I don't mind eating fat as long as it is CLEAN eating. That means few ingredients.

If you want the BEST quality soap.. use SHEEP tallow.. OMG it make FANTASTIC soap.. Of course I have yet to try to make soap "fight club" style.. but until I start dumpster diving at the lipo clinic, SHEEP tallow is the most AMAZING base oil for soap making. PERIOD.
