Mom2A&M Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I am wondering if cooking in coconut oil counts as your fat for the meal or do I still add fat after cooking? For example, lunch today was carrot soup (sautéed in coconut oil and contained coconut milk and broth) with a few ounces of ground beef ( 85% lean sautéed in coconut oil). Do I still add 1/2 avacado on top or is this amount sufficient? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Cooking oil counts, but if you feel like an avocado in addition every now and then, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2A&M Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Great thanks. I have been adding fat in addition every meal, like slathering almost everything with mayo . Is that overdoing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I don't know the technical answer to that question, but I find that I kind of have to eat much more fat at each meal than I would ever imagine, in order to keep my digestive system running appropriately (and that is all I will say about that!!) and in order to stave off between-meal hunger. This may not be totally approved, but my body seems to do really well when I eat some avocado AND some mayo in the same meal. Yep. I tell you, this way of eating is a mind-blower, compared to all the low fat messages we've all received. Shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2A&M Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 It is different! My concern is that I'm not digesting the fats well, so I started enzymes but wondering how much is too much. You can't get too graphic for me. Have had IBS for many years and poop is a familiar topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
