Roberta Morris Zukauskas Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I really don't like olives or avocados - besides coconut, these seem to be the only fat choices that are edible (as opposed to liquids like oils). Is there another food source for this? Or should I just prepare to eat a lot of coocnut products? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan W Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Home made Mayo!! It's the best and so easy. Here's a link to a great u-tube. Of course, you won't use Canola oil or the sugar, but the process is exactly how it works. I also use 1 whole egg to 1 1/4 cup light flavored olive oil and 1 TBS fresh lemon juice, a pinch of cayenne, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp Whole30 compliant mustard.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 26, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 26, 2012 I can't believe I'm recommending nuts to anyone, but nuts like macadamias and cashews are a decent source of fat. I recommend not eating them as snacks, but using them as ingredients in meals. A handful of nuts goes well with most salads and stir-fries.

Susan W Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 And Ghee. Yes, it's a cooking fat, but it's also delicious just spread on roasted, steamed or sauteed veggies or even a steak. Also, making your own salad dressings by just using olive oil or mac or avocado oil (maybe you wouldn't like the avo oil) and then a little acid of your choice is a great way to add fat without cooking with it. So many fats...so little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta Morris Zukauskas Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thanks for the responses -I hadn't thought about eggs or nuts. I had planned to try making salad dressing, and with the link from above, maybe even the mayo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnab Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I too am not a huge fan of avocado or olives-- I made it through my entire Whole30 (well, almost, I'm on day 27) eating fattier meats and using nuts. I did make my own mayo for tuna and chicken salad. It can be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitjm5 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I propose that you eat them on occasion anyway. I don't like a lot of vegetables, but I make them go down the gullet because I know they are good for me. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta Morris Zukauskas Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Eating them is not an option - I tried guacamole once and I was violently ill - so both the taste and the memories are not good. Olives make me gag...there are lots of other options fortunately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get used to something that you haven't tried before yes, force anything down, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
