What fats can I add to my Atkins diet
"Avatar" wrote in message ... I'm a diabetic, and my blood glucose is staying high. I've been very low-carb (20g) for three - four months now, but it's still high (over 165). Posters here tell me that that could be because of excessive protein in my diet--my diet is practially all meat, and they say that 50% of extra protein gets converted to glucose. And my triglycerides are still high (234), which could be from that extra glucose. So what fats do you recommend adding to one's diet to avoid excessive protein? Cheese, obviously (but am lactose intolerant and lactaid tablets cost big bucks). Pork rinds. More eggs fried in butter... Any suggestions on how to get fat content up and protein content down? Thanks. Add in measured amounts of nuts...eat more salad with oil for dressing. Make veggie stry fry with oil, butter, and LC veggies...you can get your fat % up to 65 to 70 or so if you try.... |

Still no luck getting a better doctor or getting on insulin or getting the blood tests suggested by Susan? Dude, she's got more expertese on the topic than the doctors you have mentioned in earlier threads. Without getting that blood sugar down a lot of the other advice isn't going to help enough. Any suggestions on how to get fat content up and protein content down? Nina suggested fattier cuts of meat. There's also the option of using vegitable oils like olive, canola, walnut and so on as a dip. There's no downside to having lean meat with added vegitable oil versus fattier meat. Note that either approach is much more filling than the meat itself so expect to taper down your portions and end up very close to the same total calories for the day as before you made the change. |

And cream, sour cream, and cream cheese are often tolerated very well even by people who are lactose-intolerant. Thanks to one and all for the suggestions! Nuts, coconut oiil, etc...will try to work those in. (Cream kills me, though.) |

Doug Freyburger says... Nina suggested fattier cuts of meat. I smoked 2 pork shoulders this weekend. When choosing a shoulder for smoking, it is best to get one with a lot of fat. The fat dissolves slowly in the heat and smoke and helps to tenderize the meat. However, a lot of fat still remains throughout the shoulder. My wife and daughter trim the fat off their pork slices. I eat both the meat and the fat. Chicken legs and thighs are good sources of fat. Competition BBQers like to smoke chicken thighs because the fat renders out and makes the meat tastier for the judges. I've watched people trim the fat off of steaks--bad idea. The fat helps to tenderize the meat. One of my favorite beef cuts is the Tri-Tip. I buy the untrimmed ones from the butcher with a fat cap on one side. I smoke them for 2 hours or so until they get to 140 degrees and eat them fat and all. If one is trying to increase their fat intake, leave the lean cuts of meat at the grocery store. Besides, most cuts of meat with lots of fat are generally cheaper than the lean ones. Last weekend, I bought 10 lbs. of pork shoulder for 69 cents per pound. 8^) Mark 280/220/200 |

Thanks. Olives contain no protein and no carbs. All fat I think. And it is the good kind of fat too. But watch the salt - check that out - see if you can get low salt ones. Or sometimes people soak them in water and the salt then comes out after a while - but then without any salt they don't taste so good - so I don't know ! But I love olives ! |

What fats can I add to my Atkins diet
In article , Nina says...
(Where does one get pork shoulder for 69 cents/lb., anyway?) They were on sale at the local chain grocery store. When I went in the store, I was looking for some tri-tip roasts. I gagged at the $6.49/lb price. I next looked at pork ribs. An utrimmed rack of ribs is a good value at $1.99/lb or less--they were priced at $2.99 lb. So I skipped them. A fresh turkey was priced at $1.69--way too much $$, and I didn't have the time to defrost a frozen one that was much cheaper. So when I came upon the pork shoulders, I put two 5 pounders in the basket and brought them home to smoke. We sliced up one of them and ate it last night. There is one remaining that will be eaten by my girls in tortillas with cheese. I'm just going to eat the pork shoulder meat. Mark |
