Juice06870 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I am about 2 months removed from completing my first Whole30. Things have been going great and I have been happy with the results I have achieved physcially, mentally and emotionally. I have not weighed myself in a while, but I can tell that I have plateaued in the fat loss department. (I would say I have been 85-90% compliant or better in the past 2 months, plus a healthy dose of alcohol consumption) I have tightened that back up this week though. Anyway, my question is if I am perhaps including too much fat in a typical meal. For example, at breakfast I will have: 4 cage free eggs (over easy) a chicken sausage (or a beef slider from US Wellness Meats) sauteed spinach and either onions or peppers half an avocado The proteins and veggies are cooked in either coconut oil or ghee. Since I am cooking with those fats (no more than 2 tablespoons total, but usually less), should I avoid the half avocado with those meals? (i really like it) (same principal applies to dinner and sometimes lunch, the proteins and veggies are cooked in 1-2 tablespoons of ghee or coconut oil) Or am I just getting nitpicky? I was also thinking that from this point on, any further fat losses will be extremely slow and steady...but I have given it about 2 months with no real additional progress). I skipped it today and yesterday, and I still was satiated until my next meal...so I think I may have answered my own question...but I want to be sure I am also not all of a sudden underconsuming it..

Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 16, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2013 I normally eat 4 whole eggs at breakfast and consider that sufficient fat. The sausage and avocado is probably more than you need. I would tend to omit those unless I was trying to gain weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Although I agree with Tom (you might not need as much fat in your breakfast), I wouldn't be so quick to blame fat consumption for lack of fat loss. A "healthy dose of alcohol" is far more likely to be the culprit IMHO. Good for you reining that in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yep. Alcohol = sugar to your body, so its the most likely culprit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
