What other fats to add? - 04/24/12 03:30 PM
So after my food sensitivities test results and cutting things that were in the yellow/red for me, I've noticed my pain going from a 3-4 to now a 1-2 so yay!
On another note......I'm starving as of late since I've had to cut my two key fats, avocado(mildly reactive food) and nuts(due to hsv). I know fat is such an important part of this diet and typically I'd eat at least 1 avocado daily in addition to drenching my salads in EVOO and taking a few tablespoons here and there of coconut oil during the day. Now with no nuts and no avocado what other fats can I add? I'm only eating leaner cuts of meat like turkey/fish too due to the food sensitivities ramp up plan. I'll be adding back beef and chicken in couple weeks and pork is out for good (very reactive) but currently I'm like so hungry I could eat the house!
Aside from eating like 10 bowls of coconut oil a day, how else can I curb the hunger and get more fat?? I'm working out daily usually about 30 mins cardio so nothing too intense. Weight has been holding constant at 163 down from 185 when I started.
I talked about this in another thread, but I'm still having moments of extreme hunger too after I eat something. Last night I had a turkey burger w mustard, 1 large beet, huge shredded cabbage salad drenched in EVOO, and sea salt. Was pretty full. Then about 30 mins after dinner I ate a handful of raw cacao nibs and boom! 5 mins after eating that I was starving again! This also happened a few weeks ago after trying one of those coconut flour mug muffins as a snack mid afternoon. Ate that and was starving the rest of the afternoon right after.
Any insight into more fats to add to curtail hunger and also insight into the random hunger bursts is greatly appreciated.
