Too fatty a meal makes me vomit, more then 4 tablespoons of mayo or the equivalent fat grams will make me want to curl into a ball and puke.

so I finally tried my hand at making fat bombs...and OMG SO GOOD!!! I made chocolate, coconut oil, coconut flake, almond butter ones, and they were so freaking delicious, that I couldnt stop eating them! about half an hour later I felt nauseous, and then got sick! This has never happened to me before low carb life. Before, I could eat as much of anything and never have a problem. Do you suppose its because of the high fat content? has this ever happened to anyone else? too much fat = no bueno?

It sounds like you tried my recipes. Now you make me feel like I have created a monster....LOL!

I only eat 1 or 2 a day after a meal or if I'm short on fat at the end of the day.

I hope you're feeling better soon...

How on earth did you eat all those? They are so rich. I'd say you overdid it and try not to do that in the future.

oh yep me to . aparantly relates tto the liver /gallbladder having to process all that . liver herbs .

I am the same way Steve. I am avoiding making fat bombs. My worst is pork skins with butter and SF Torani syrup. It is all ok and I have found to put the butter and syrup in a tiny dish and nuke everything then dip into the butter SF syrup dish. Uses less of the butter and SF syrup. But I try not to eat it often. Right now I am on a need to have some thing crunch more than sweet. Thank God for pork skins.

It takes time, and a little bit of trial and error. Keep at it, you'll get the hang of it.

Fat Bombs are MOSTLY coconut oil-120 cal per tbl. so it will lubricate the guts too, and having your gall bladder hit with so much pure fat at once (not a bad thing long term as you adjust, the opposite is MUCH worse! a desiccated 'low fat' ruined gallbladder*, just ask me!)
So nausea may be your body's way of adjusting, it is for me too. Many of us will never eat it by the spoonful out of the jar like some do! While I can put same calories of butter in coffee and love it , coconut oil takes getting used to.

Calories in a BASIC 16-17 oz Bomb recipe with nuts is 6,020 (see below) =376c per oz. (2tbl) so consuming a fat loaded 2 or 3oz treat is 750-1120 calories in under a minute. two minutes if you nibble politely? gotta have an effect as you adjust.

Basic recipe online is 8oz coco oil-1920c+ 4oz PB or AB=400c, 2 oz flake coconut 400c 1 oz cocoa=40c+ 2 oz walnuts/macadamia ~400c nocal sweetener, some vanilla. Mix all together, chill in ONE silicon pie pan..and weigh you get total ounces, since you know Total calories IN..than you know how much per piece by weight. I do not waste time filling teeny ice cube trays..I use the 9" round silicon bake pan, layer coconut flake and crushed walnuts on bottom, drip raspberry flavor on part, orange, or other flavors on coconut. for a surprise lair .then pour the hot mix over to about ~ 3/8" tall. I have a giant 'cookie bomb" that is easy to weigh by the piece. I do not have to commit to a set portion size, this is important, give yourself a bit of freedom, while knowing what you ate.

*as one of the boomer generation girls sold the low fat diet in my 20's, without fat to smoothly deliver bile you will develop stones, and like sludge in an engine with dirty, low oil you can ruin its performance. My surgeon told me MANY millions of us have tons of seed size stones, but not worth scanning everyone to prevent the severe pain that will occur, so they treat it as an ER surgery case, and usually yank the gallbladder. You do need it, so LCHF can help resolve problems. Excellent info: http://www.dietdoctor.com/gallstones-and-low-carb
