Tonya Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have fallen in love with homemade mayo - I put it on my eggs in the morning, mix it with avocado and protein at lunch, and add garlic and seasonings to it for my vegetables at night. Seriously, this stuff has taken the place of cheese for me. Is it okay to eat it at every meal? I really don't think I'm in any danger of going back to cheese or sour cream since I've found this stuff. I'm eating one container/week (1 egg, 1 cup olive oil), a little more if I've made a batch of chicken or tuna salad with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 It isn't SWYPO. Homemade mayo is the real deal. If anything the jarred stuff has its pants on. But it can no doubt be FWOB (food without breaks). SWYPO is something like "paleo cake" or other often gross, often disappointing recipes that commonly rely on almond flour and taste nothing like the real deal but that keep you psychologically tied to old habits. It sounds like you are using it as your fat source. As long as it isn't taking the place of veggies or protein on your plate and you're sticking with the template guidelines I would think it's ok. I know when I first discovered it I ate a ton of it. Then that leveled off. I personally do well with a lot of fat, especially in the early weeks when I'm adjusting away from burning sugar as fuel. The more fat I eat the more fat I seem to drop. Some people feel that eating too much fat doesn't give them results they are after. So *after* their first w30 they might play with fat servings. Actually I just read that you're only having one small batch a week! Dear God woman, I would sometimes eat that in two days. (And I lost somethg like 20 lbs in three months to get to a lean size 4/6.) You are fine!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoffmak Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 What recipe did you use to make your own mayo? I've seen a couple different recipes, but they all seem so different! It would be nice to find one that I know is good before trying my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinSpin Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Mmmm mayo! I eat it just off the spoon and my son (almost 4) loves it that way too and has to help me when I make it. It is truly nirvana! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinagain Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Glad to know I'm not the only one in love with homemade mayo. I use it mostly for dressings on salad or in chicken or tuna salad, but I could probably eat it with a spoon. Just haven't quite gotten over my "forbidden food" habits from the low fat/low cal dieting days. I'm working on it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
