The Banting/LCHF Thread

[Sinbad]

you are a little late there mr bastid

He's not late, he's right on time, you were premature

 

[dualmeister]

so the US finally starting to slowly admit they may have got something wrong with nutritional guidelines

The greater danger in this regard, these experts believe, lies not in products such as eggs, shrimp or lobster, which are high in cholesterol, but in too many servings of foods heavy with saturated fats, such as fatty meats, whole milk, and butter.

So we should or shouldn't be having these then

Why do some LCHF folk seem determined to say bizarre things?

“Two hours after a high carb meal, you have effectively swollen your brain and caused concussion”. - Dr. Robert Cywes at the recent Old Mutual Health Convention thing.

Every field has quacks unfortunately.

I'll ask again

How is this right?

Yeah it's not right at all - they are putting 1 and a half feet in instead of both feet. F-all wrong with saturated fats as long as Triglycerides (increased by sugar and carbs) are low

 

[APoc184]

So if I am back on Carbs for gym purposes I should avoid any saturated fats, right?

I can still do avo though, right?

What kind of sources carbs are you including in your diet?

 

[APoc184]

Oats, brown rice and potatoes.

No pasta, no bread, no sugar.

I would really love a bowl of oats right now. With sugar, naturally.

That being said, I've lost about 11kgs since October 2014, with some cheating over December and in February, so I'm trying to stick to my LCMF diet.

Potatoes break down to pure sugar (glucose) so go easy there. I really wouldn't cut out saturated fats from your diet.

There is nothing wrong with saturated fats. They do elevate cholesterol levels which is not a bad thing. The trouble comes in when the person eating lots of refined carbs and added sugar has increased cholesterol.

It helps to understand this: raised triglyceride levels cause inflammation in the body. Inflammation is the cause of damage inside the arteries. Cholesterol is the scab which covers the damage in order to "heal the wound" and then this can lead to a blockage and heart attack \ CVD.

If triglyceride levels are low\normal, risk of arterial damage is low to non existent so high cholesterol cannot cause any issues. The biggest problem has been blaming the fire engine (cholesterol) for the fire because it is at the source of the fire - but as we know, the engine is there to fix the problem but it's good can lead to bad.

Thanks. Potatoes are only done like once or twice a week when we need some variation from the brown rice.

Oats are only ever eaten for breakfast.

Apart from that we still stick to bacon, eggs, cheese, mushrooms, avo, salads and plenty of vegetables. And of course steak, chicken and fish.

Looks hundreds to me.

 

[APoc184]

I only have about 4 weeks of bulking left anyway and then it is back to cutting carbs again.

I'll probably still stick with the oats in the mornings as it keeps me satiated for long enough and is rich in fiber and has relatively high protein content.

It is just too bloody expensive and difficult to reach 4000 calories on LCHF.

you are a little late there mr bastid

I've been a bit off my game recently
