Re: how much saturated fat?

[Guest guest]

I'm losing weight but i'm concerned i'm not getting enough fat. I'm

experiencing PMS for the first time since eating the NT way (I can't believe

i went through this most of my life -- it sucks!!!). It occurs to me that i

have no idea how much sat. fat i need and advice seems to be all over the

place.

I'm wondering what people on this board think. My ideal weight is about 170

and i'm pretty active. Nursing too, though my toddler also eats a fair

amount.

Thanks,

Elaine

I get 65-70 percent of my calories from fat. I honestly have no idea how

much is saturated, I haven't been tracking that....

PMS seems to be related to calcium intake ... one of those cal/mg/D things that

gets

out of joint. It's controversial with some people, but it seems from my reading

that when you eat more meat, you need more calcium to process it. So you might

want to look at your cal/mg/D intake.

Oh! That's it. Been drinking way less milk and eating no cheese. Need to eat

more of those little fishies, which, by the way, ARE delicious fried. But

they don't seem to keep well -- get gooey. Do yours do the same?

No, mine stay crispy forever if they are in a sealed container. Mind you, they

are fried

in a lot of coconut oil, so they may be sealed in oil too. They are the only

food

that in my mind competes with bacon ... tho unlike bacon, I can't eat many in

one sitting.

I did try using spices on them once, and the spices sort of coagulated ...

not gooey, but not very appetizing either. So now I just use a bit of

salt.
