200 plus grams of fat per day. How?????

[Guest guest]

Have been reviewing Bee's site for a couple of weeks (an amazingly

comprehensive achievement - sincere thanks Bee) but am struggling trying to

figure out how to get the good fat levels up that high. I am 68 inches and

thus fall between a goal of 183 to 255 grams of fat per day. How on earth

does a little guy like (130 lbs) me do that??? Just in pure coconut oil terms,

200 grams would be 14 tablespoons per day.

If I try and spread that out with eggs, fish, meat and ??? (what else has the

saturated fat) it takes huge amounts to try and get to those levels. I am

getting about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil above other food fat intake so far

per day and I just have a hard time visualizing how to get the levels up

enough.

Am I misunderstanding something? How do you guys out there who have

built up over time get the totals up? How does the protien ratio stay low

enough if not almost drinking butter or oil to get the fat?

I'm sure this is discussed somehwere in Bee's site but a search has not been

fruitful. Yes, I have looked in the Foods section. Any tips, pointers

appreciated.

Thank you,

Hey ! It's not as hard as you think...

The cod liver oil counts towards your daily goals. Also, fit in 1

tablespoon of high-quality olive oil during the day. (I can take it by

the spoon, or lately, I've been pouring a generous amount on my serving

of home-made sauerkraut I have with most meals). It really helps to do

Bee's egg drink every morning for breakfast... there's 2 T of butter

and 2 T of VCO right there!

Also, if you can, find some good pork fat to cook green beans and

greens with. When you cook hamburgers, save the fat in a small jar and

keep in the fridge. Cook your veggies in that fat, instead of using

the coconut oil all the time. Add butter to soups or your stir-fried

veggie dishes. Add butter to steamed cabbage with curry.

When you cook a whole chicken or do a pot roast, don't skim the fat

from the top. Just keep it with your broth and make a soup out of it.

It's delicious! Be sure to eat chicken skins in your soup or chicken

salad. That's full of fat too.

For instance, I'm getting ready to cook my home-made spaghetti sauce.

I'll brown 2 hamburger patty crumbles, and have about 4 T of fat left

in the pan. I'll stir-fry my onions and green peppers in that fat

before adding it to the sauce.... and it'll be yummy!

Before starting this diet, I kept a soup can on the stove that I would

pour all my fats/butter leftovers after cooking stuff, and then I would

discard it monthly. After 2 months, I think I've only added about 2

tablespoons of fat/butter to that can, because I use it all now! This

diet is a very efficient way to eat, because almost NOTHING is

wasted... which is good, because pasture raised beef/chicken isn't

cheap!

Like you, I'm supposed to have between 175-245 fat grams per day. I

started the diet at 151 pounds, and weighed 136 this morning. Amazing

how eating all of this fat is making me skinny, isn't it???

Hope this helps...

Hi !

I too am 68 inches and weigh even less...122! I have been on Bee's

program for 6 days and after the initial shock over eating that much

fat, I am now having to TRY to not EXCEED my coconut oil requirements

for the day! Today alone I had 8 TBSP of coconut oil---and I'm not

eating it straight out of the jar either. I am using it when I cook

(chicken and broccoli and spinach today---cooked with coconut oil and

then topped with a TBSP before eating it...), plus I mix it in

everything. I have used stevia, coconut oil and lemon juice to make

a " coconut candy " that I keep in the fridge. You just mix up the

coconut oil (a cup or so), liquid stevia (with no additives!), and

lemon juice, (plus a little Celtic sea salt to balance the sweetness)

in a glass shallow baking dish and put it in the fridge. The coconut

oil solidifies when it gets cold, so once it's hard I cut it into

small squares and eat them whenever I want a sweet treat---

instant " candy " ! They are majorly delicious, and I would say make

them with organic pure carob powder for a " chocolate " version once

we're healed! I am a major sweet tooth, so I can eat a lot of them.

I also found the " sample day " meal plans in the files very helpful---

there are two posted that I found with recommendations for what to

have for b'fast, lunch, dinner. Plus, hardboiled eggs are a CINCH to

scarf! Mix them with softened butter and herbs (as someone just

suggested the other day) for an amazing egg salad! :) Good luck

with everything...Jill

Jill and Doug... Thanks very much for your suggestions and support. I do

not have a problem with the idea and understanding of the high fat

requirement, it is just doing it. I think I am just going to have to go quite

slowly and hope the " ability " to down the stuff increases. An odd thing to

say when half the country is trying the opposite!

Again, thanks much.
