Hello all,

It used to drive me nuts trying to figure out through all the information

(and disinformation) out there what kind of diet I should be eating-- I did

the vegetarian thing for a long time but craved meat. Have been much

healthier since starting meat again five years ago. Anyway recently found

NT and again drastically changing my food sources--and by the way it is

sooooooo wonderful to have all of you for support for a way of eating that

is definitely not supported by mainstream culture.

Anyway, the other piece of the puzzle for me was solved when I heard Bill

Wolcott speak--it was a major " aha " and explained so much about all the

craziness out there and the dueling diet thing. Bottom line is--there is no

one right diet that everyone should be on--I'm not talking about quality of

food here but about ratios of proteins, carbs and fats--it all depends on

each persons metabolic type. At one end of the spectrum are the high

protein & fat and low carb people--Eskimo genes perhaps? At the other end

those who need lots of carbs and lower protein and fat. And everything in

between. Also, our " genetic metabolic type " gets shifted by what we do to

our bodies and how it tries to adapt.

The other big " aha " is that one person's food can be another's poison so to

speak and the same disease state (say heart disease) can result from eating

the wrong types and ratios of food for that person's type--in other words

some people with clogged arteries need more fat not less. I think that each

diet guru out there has their wonderful success stories because there diet

is " right " for those people's metabolic type (not blood type ala D'Amato).

Those who get no where with a given diet or feel worse have the " wrong "

metabolic type.

Anyway, Wolcott's book " the Metabolic Typing Diet " and Nourishing Traditions

are now the only two diet books I recommend. We need to learn to listen to

our bodies (a forgotten ability I fear) and adjust our diets accordingly.

But for the scientists out there and those that need help you can do all

sorts of physiologic measurements to figure out more precisely your

metabolic type and the imbalances present. If anyone is interested here is

a web site with more info http://www.metabolictyping.com/

Blessings to you all in the coming new year,

Subject: Your daily fat amount and am i goign too much

?

Just wondering how much fat everyone is eating.

I have no idea how much i am downing but and avg day eating for me is

breakfast OATS with fruit and a little honey and a table spoon of

ghee.

Lunch is usually 6 eggs ( 4 whites 6 yolks )table spoon of ghee ( not

always ) and a salad of lettuce, tomatoe and cucumber.

soem days i will have afternoon snack of yoghurt and some fruit.

DInner is usually some kind of meat cooked in ghee. Vegetables ( IE

carrot, squash, potatoe adn pumpkin ) and i have a 54% fat cream that

i freeze with 2 egg yolks to form a icecream like substance )

No idea how much calories or fat this is but its giving me a good

amount of energy. I try to get all organic where possible. If i cant

get organic meat the only meat i eat will be lamb.

If anyone think the above is overkill anywhere please let me know as

today finding the right things to eat is a nightmare.

Those are my favorites too. I gave NT to my dad, sister, and brother for

Christmas this year - hope they read it! Another book like Wolcott's is

Ann Louise Gittleman's Your Body Knows Best. It was my first

introduction to the idea that every body has different nutritional needs

(fast/slow metabolizers), and because of reading it I picked up

Wolcott's book when I spotted it at a used bookstore.

I was eating about the same amount of fat as you until the end of October

when I heard Sally Fallon and Dr. Enig speak at the traditional foods

conference in Portland, Oregon. What I came away with was that I wasn't

eating nearly enough fat. Now, I put about a 1/4 c of butter on a bowl of

oatmeal, I soak my bread with butter until it's dripping down the sides, I

even leave a pound of butter sitting on the countertop and scoop some up with

my finger several times a day. I coat all our vegies with cream sauces,

butter, or coconut oil and fry a lot more meat. Here's what happened...two

weeks ago my son came home from school very concerned about something. We

talked and he told me there were a lot of parents helping in his class. I

thought for sure he was upset as I wasn't helping as much as some of the

other parents. I listened to him talk for awhile and you can imagine my

surprise when I discovered that wasn't the problem at all. He was concerned

because he noticed a lot of the parents look very old. I explained to him

that they really aren't any older than I am, I'm probably about the same age

that most of them are. " Well " he said " they sure have a lot more wrinkles

than you do " . He's right, the increased fat intake has taken several years

off my face.

Thanks so far on everyones input on the subject.

I assume you mean 1/4 of a cup of Butter?

I am so close to finding organic raw cows milk here in brisbane .au

so that will help my current quality issue.

I have put on a little weight recently eating the current fat level I

am and also alot more strength. Great it rox ( i am 6 ft 2

weighing 74 kilos up from 70 kilos ) so yeah pretty skinny.

At the moment though i still find I need to eat 4 times a day, but eh

its all tasty

I been buyign this really expensive cream that is like 54% fat and

its thick as anything. Never seen cream this thick before. But its

pasturized but its better than nothign right now. Cant wait to get eh

real thing soon

Happy New Year!

Ok, now, those of you consuming lots of fat, you've got me curious.

Once upon a time I did Aajonus' Raw Animal Foods diet for a few

months. I consumed lots of raw fat (raw milk, raw cream, raw avocado,

raw meat) and I discovered that I got fat eating so much fat, even

good healthy raw animal fat. Do those of you who consume lots of raw

fats find yourselves getting fatter, or leaner? Is there some

adjustment period where one gets fatter for a while and then gets

leaner? Overweight minds want to know.

Thanks,

Sol

fatter! yes!

Yes - the weight-loss phase (with few fats - relying on stored body fats

for awhile to lose weight).
