AceOfSwords Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Does anyone have suggestions for alternative fats for a picky eater? I currently do not like or eat coconut, avocado or olives (also mushrooms are icky). I am slowly working on these and other foods that I don't like. I can now tolerate about 1/4 avocado if it is well hidden in something else and maybe a few slices in sushi (I have not started my first Whole30 yet so I still eat sushi). I am planning on an August 29 start date and would like to be as prepared as I can be. I like nuts, but it sounds like they should not be my main source of "eating fats" (as opposed to cooking fats). What do capers count as besides a pantry/garnish item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen_Suep Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Avocado oil is a mild tasting oil (it doesn't taste like avocado). You can also do mayo (homemade or compliant... Read labels), rendered animal fats, compliant bacon, ghee, pesto, chimichurri... Keep trying to find a fat that works for you. Question: is it the taste or texture of those fats you aren't a fan of? If it's a texture thing, keep trying to incorporate various fats in meals any way you can. If it's a taste thing, try different types of oil/olives/ways to eat avocado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceOfSwords Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 With avocado it is both taste and texture, the rest are more taste. I guess my fats may end up coming more from sauces and cooking than eating (unless/until I can figure out how to eat olives and avocado). I don't have an issue with olive oil and I haven't tried coconut or avocado oil so we'll see how that goes. It seems weird to think of a sauce as really part of the food and not just a tasty garnish. I'm not sure why that seems weird to me, but it does at the moment. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 18, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2016 Focus on eating fatty foods like chuck roast, salmon, whole eggs, short-ribs, pork sausage, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olives, olive oil, homemade mayo, lard, tallow, avocado/guac, fatty fishes like sardines etc. Is there a particular recipe you were trying to sub out the coconut product in?

MeadowLily Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I like Macadamia Nut Oil, especially if you want to make something without adding additional taste/flavor like EVOO often does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
