If you can find it you can buy goose fat (or similar) or a high quality lard and " butter " your meat with it before eating. Also you can go for more fatty meat and fish, like lamb and salmon. Make bone broth as well I remember when I switched all I wanted to do was eat fat all day long :-) It passes eventually, enjoy it while it lasts! cecilia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Eat a lot of easy food. You're craving calories because it helps your body heal. Use oil and coconut butter for calories. Also try butter and determine yourself whether butter is a problem for you - just because it is for some doesn't mean it is for you. I added cheese back in pretty quickly myself at the beginning of my diet - which might also help you put in calories if you end up being okay with cheese. It's actually a good sign that you are hungry at the beginning of the diet - it means that healing is going on. Have you tried making apple sauce yet? That's yummy early on.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 How about almond oil, ghee (clarified butter), avocado, and fatty fish? It was avocado that really helped me. Also, almond oil goes down good for me. I personally think good fats are extremely important.
