Primal/Keto thread of avocados, ghee, mct oil, and complex carbs

Status
Not open for further replies.
Sugary fruits? Why do I get the feeling you're going to say bananas.

Now I've noticed you do oatmeal. I thought that was part of the whole gluten thing dieters needed to avoid? As for butter, none of my stores would sell grass fed cow butter unless they marked up the price by 300% (Safeway) almond butter the next best thing?
Yeah, a single banana can fill your daily allowance of sugar. Grapes are also high in sugar.

Trader Joes has Kerrygold butter as does Costco. If not, look for ghee.
 
Low Carb, High Fat is legit.

Some products that I enjoy that are also low carb:

Halo Top - Delicious Creamy Ice Cream; Multiple Flavors. 8 Net Carbs for half a pint.

Elli Quark - Even though it's technically creamy cheese; it has the consistency of excellent yogurt. Has great flavors and is 6 Net Carbs for a container thanks to Erythritol; Only downside is that there's no fat here.

Siggi Yogurt - For more traditional yogurt that is full of good fat, this is relatively low carb depending on the flavor. Delicious.

Hardbite Parsnip Chips - My official Chip Replacement. These are 3 Net carbs for 20 chips (40g). They have a fantastic crunch and is good for when I'm not feeling pork rinds.

Big Train Pancake (and Waffle) Mix - These make really good pancakes. I use heavy cream in the mix instead of water, and they turn out delectable. 7 Net Carbs for 3 prepared pancakes; pair off with Whipped Cream, a Sugar Free Jam, or some sugar free syrup like Cary's and you're golden.

Joseph's Pita Bread - THESE. THINGS. ARE. LIFE. SAVING. Grilled Cheese, Sandwiches, Mini Pizzas. They are soft and delicious. Good eaten alone, toasted, baked, whatever. 4 Net Carbs Per Pita

Keto has been all about discovering what alternative products there are to still enjoy what I want to. It's been fun, and now that I have a lot of what I need, I have a easy time doing low carb.

Wow thanks for this!
Subscribed just so I can revisit this post.
 
Glad there is finally an OT for this. Just need one for paranormal topics and I would be have all the ones I want.

Anyone have some good berry/fruit fat bomb recipes that you have actually made? I tend to just do butter/coconut oil ones and add in cocoa powder and no sugar added peanut butter. I've tried some with cream cheese + Mio flavors but they never seem to turn out right.
 
You're doing it wrong if you are still consuming dairy, meat and oils.

Yes, we definitely have a thread full of dying people here. I'll keep that in mind as I eat my rare steak and with sides of broccoli and cheese and creamed spinach tonight. Every bite is killing me.

I think it will be a slow death
because I like to savor my food.

My big issue with dairy (milk) is meant for babies. Milk is designed to raise a creature through infancy. Humans stop drinking milk from their mothers early in life as they can eat harder food with their teeth growing in.

Mankind has neglected this and now suckles the milk from a cow, which has been design to grow calves quickly from 60lbs at birth to 500-600 lbs in weeks. No other creature on the planet continues to drink it's mothers milk after being weaned -- let alone milk from another species!



For the meat thing, all I can say is look at your teeth. You don't have teeth of a carnivore, most of your teeth in your mouth are flat. I have been convinced that these are causing issues with our human bodies. The videos I linked can explain it much better.

I recommend altering your diets and see how you feel later. Cutting both out completely in every shape and form. No cookies, nothing that does not come from the earth.

Well, technically we're omnivores...that's why we're given both flat and sharp teeth. If we're going to go on to talk about biological and evolutionary reasoning for human design, then why does the smell of cooked beef, pork, or poultry appeal to humans? Nature has given us a guide to discern nutritious food sources using our sense of smell. It's why feces or rotting food doesn't smell good, and a sign for us not to eat it.

Sounds like milk is good for massive gains. And we do have sharp teeth for tearing flesh and molars for salads.

There is a little more to it than that. There are poisonous flowers and berries that smell good, but they can destroy you.

The logic of milk drinking as an adult is inherit in humans only. There is really no way someone can say we are still meant to drink it. Still, milk has a pleasant and non-foul aroma, which breaks your ideology of "food doesn't smell good, and a sign for us not to eat it."

The proportion of our meat and vegetables does not directly correlate to the design of teeth. Many people on the Standard American Diet are heavy meat eaters, that is not heeding the design of those teeth.

Not quite. Imagine what its doing to things in the body that aren't good at the cell level. Keep growing and growing. The over abundance of casein protein is an issue.

I'm all for Paleo/Primal as a stop-gap to undo the carb heavy diets to correct the damage, and then perhaps even it out to a more reasonable ratio as you're suggesting.

Can't stand the smell or taste. I stick to almond milk personally. In any case, thanks for the vids, but I'm overall happy with my diet of meats, cheeses, and veggies.

There is a difference in carbs.

You have the heavy refined carbs (man-made) and natural carbs you find in starchy vegetables. Civilizations thrived on those foods for ages and lived long lives without the amount of heart disease we find today. Asian cultures thrive on steady rice diets, Middle-East on Bread, Western Europe on Potatoes, and South American cultures on corn. The problem isn't carbs, it's the refined type found today in mostly everything you eat.

The China Study is a good example of this.

I understand this, but like it or not this kind of diet will appear to a wider range of people. The key is to get people to change their eating habits without giving up on it early on. It's certainly the lesser of two evils in my opinion...because if they don't diet they'll still be suffering from heart disease and cancer anyway.

I believe being in ketosis is protein sparing, but im not sure.

I lost 12kg right now mostly fat i guess cause my strength levels are still the same, and i eat less protein right now.
Before i ate around 150~180 gram of protein, now im fine with 80~100grams of protein.

You're right but in the end it all comes down to self control. You eventually need to stop the bad habits altogether.

Keto isn't really a super high protein diet. Too much protein is actually counterproductive to ketogenesis.

I actually eat less meat then i did on a non keto diet, but mostly because i get some
protein from dairy products like yoghurt and cheese. Its more a convenient thing
don't have the time to cook, so i cook in bulk in the weekend.

Surprised I missed this thread until now. I'm generally in this boat, although I keep the carbs to an absolute minimum on most days. I also typically just eat dinner, but I do enjoy a lot of heavy cream in my morning coffee.

Haha, I'm half rican and it was a struggle for me too bro. I grew up on latino food, then soul food on my black side of the family. It was fine when I was young and super active, but I've got to eat a bit better to stay in shape nowadays. I still slow cook a pernil from time to time though. Make a nice adobo rub, stuff it with garlic and sofrito. Super good. .

The tooth shape thing is such a bunch of bullshit and I've seen it used to argue both directions. Our teeth work perfectly fine for eating meat and a wide variety of other foods.

Have you seen the canines on a gorilla? They typically don't eat a lot of meat.

That's what happens when you go against the system. The Obesity Conference is sponsored by who?

Drug companies-- Big Pharma. Look at their pamphlet. They don't want people to be well man. They want to sell drugs and not really treat the "disease" by diet.

Drug companies sponsoring a medicine conference? That's insane.

Honestly, you're not going to find much in terms of research or conferences that is completely free from corporate influence.

If your argument is that it's against their business interests, then why would drug companies who sell diabetes medication allow low carb speakers?

Anyway, I don't think his expulsion necessarily discredits anything he has to say. I really don't know enough about the guy or his arguments, other than that he's kind of an aggressive vegan and outspoken dissenter of low-carb diets.

And what was in those slides that was so much "going against the system" as you put it?

From his own blog:

My Presentation Was Intended to Confront the Obesity Problem Seriously

Since the low-carb diet is the antithesis of my beliefs, I decided to address the undeniable fundamental troubles with promotions of this approach to the public:

1) The published research is really advertisements for various industries.
2) Low-carb speakers and their research fail to address the deadly side effects.
3) The low-carb (livestock)-based approach is causing destruction of planet Earth.
4) The foods recommended require killing billions of animals (BTW, rendered cruelly).
5) Basic science published before 1980, before industry took control, condemns low-carb.
6) Diet gurus condemning high-carbohydrate diets usually appear overweight.
7) The low-carb teachings contradict human history; people have been starch-eaters.

Yeah, what? How was any of that against the "drug me culture" as you put it? It was a tirade against low-carb diets and a bunch of bullshit, including ad hominems against prominent low carb advocates.

Never mind that low carb dieting in general is what's actually anti-drug. If your business relies on selling diabetes medication and making money is a high priority for you, then a low-carb diet is probably the last thing you would want your customers to try.

You can't force anyone, obviously.

I'll continue to express my opinion that your opinions are founded on poor information spread by people who may have good intentions, but are obviously more driven by their passion for animal and environmental issues than any kind of desire to find whats optimal for human health.

Just wanted to chime in and say I've been doing my own not-super-strict version that works for me and doing the intermittent fasting (breakfast + lunch, no dinner), combined with some cardio exercise 3-4 times a week and I've managed to shed nearly 20 pounds in 2 months with incredible ease. I'm not following it religiously (except the intermittent fasting part) and it's been working really really well. Eating avocados all the time has made this great. Avocados are the best.
 
What exactly is the corporate influence of keto/low carb? Atkins (just brand now) and a few competitors? Some low carb tortillas?

It is incredibly tiny compared to the corporate/governmental influence promoting low fat products (and formerly promoting trans fats substitutions, ironically) and mindset.

I know of both of those individuals very well and have a lot of problems with some of their life-defining work, honestly.

You know who else was very well respected? Ancel Keys. Respect among colleagues and even past efforts in science that are deserving of respect does not make one infallible, nor does it mean that the veracity of their statements and assertions should be taken as a given.

Whether *you* are a vegan crusader or not is also irrelevant. It's clear that you are taking your guidance from those who are. That's fine. I'm not going to say you're 100% wrong, or I'm 100% right. I think we just strongly disagree with each other and both of us have our reasons.

Keto sounds interesting. Can you keto expert help me out about some of my questions? The whole point of keto diet is to get your body to go into ketosis stage. If I have one cheat day (meal) a week will I get out of the ketosis stage?
Fructose also are bad for you? How about sour fruits? Lets say kiwi or pineapple thats not too ripe.
Last but not least how about soya! I love soya milk and beancurd. Those are derived from grains so they are a big no?

Not so much an expert but;

Once keto-adapted one cheat meal a week isn't going to do anything, a couple days of cheat meals definitely will though.

As for the other stuff, just check nutrional info and make sure it fits into your carb allotment. I often have a sneaky piece of bread or candy, I just make sure I keep within my limit when I do. It's probably not the best way about this diet but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
Yeah I don't have cheat days where I spend eating waffles for breakfast, pizza for lunch, pasta for dinner. I spread out my 3 or so cheat meals/snacks through the week without issue.

This isn't true. Some ant colonies will capture aphids and drink their milk:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE7UL2pAaL0

Just like humans and cows, the ants farm the aphid milk for themselves, and in turn, the ants protect the aphids from other insect predators.

You might think humans shouldn't drink cow's milk, but it's just wrong to say we're the only ones that do it.

The issue with fructose is that it almost gets converted into liver glycogen which interferes with ketosis.

To be in ketosis all of your glycogen stores must be depleted.

Berries are generally alright in moderation (raspberries are my favorite) but bananas, citrus fruit, and the like are bad for the diet.

Thanks for the insights guys. Keto seems more difficult than I thought. Removing most carbs is still manageable for me. But removing bananas and even citric fruits will be very challenging.

Can someone tell me if these meals are Keto? I dont have macros, but we're keeping servings small:

Asparagus
"Green Salad" (Green leafs, spinach, kale, baby tomatoes with full fat vinaigrette dressing)

Ribeye steak
Asparagus
Cauliflower mash
"Green Salad"

Cheddar Stuffed Chicken, wrapped in bacon (baked)
Cauliflower mash
"Green Salad"

Tilapia
Asparagus
"Green Salad"

Bowl of fajita-style frozen grilled chicken mixed with broccoli, topped with low carb alfredo sauce

Any other meal ideas? I want a variety so we wont get bored. Some simple keto style lunches would be great as well.

Looks pretty good to me, depending on how much sugar is in the vinaigrette.

There may not be enough fat content with the tilapia and fajita chicken, though.

Those are fairly keto friendly, but there is room for improvement. Tilapia may be a bad choice for a meat on its own because it is fairly low fat. A couple cherry tomatoes should be okay, just check the macros. Do you like pork outside of bacon?

I love broccoli, spinach, green beans, and mushrooms, so those are meal staples for me. Spinach is great as part of a stuffing - try chopping it fine and mixing it with grated parmesan or cream cheese. Squash may be good, though you have to check the carbs on some varieties. Eggplant is good. I eat scrambled eggs as a side sometimes as well.

If you want variety, check reddit's ketorecipes for tons of low carb recipes. That's where I picked up using crushed pork rinds as a breading and the wonderful world of nut flour/cheese pseudobreads.

IDK how you buy meat, but I always get "reduced for quick sale" meats and vacuum seal them. My fridge is full of them. It's a good money saver.

I do really well on a diet based around Paleo/Primal, Im 28 and it has similar effects on me. I found out Im pretty highly allergic to gluten a few years ago, and havent found a reason to eat hardly any grains out there after converting. They basically kill you over time.

Must be why the life expectancy of Japan, Italy and France is so high. Or maybe you shouldn't generalize based on your own individual allergy. Christ.

It isn't as restrictive as most people think. You just cut grains and sugars, that's it.
Which are in almost everything. For most people, it's hard to cut bread, rice, pasta, pizza, cereal, and tons of other things, and those are on the healthier side of that "sugar" spectrum! So yeah it's definitely not easy for everyone.

My big issue with dairy (milk) is meant for babies.
Oh boy...

No other creature on the planet continues to drink it's mothers milk after being weaned -- let alone milk from another species!
Not only someone has shown this to be false, but even if it were true -- so what? It's still a fallacy. Humans are the only creatures on the planet who cook their foods. The horror. Hope you're a staunch raw foodist!

That's what happens when you go against the system. The Obesity Conference is sponsored by who?

Drug companies-- Big Pharma.
*sigh* Ah, you're one of those. Okay.

For most people? I don't think that's necessarily true. Most people haven't even tried, or even considered trying in the first place.
