Dead 💻 😞 Posted by Pam T on 4/8/2019, 5:01 pm Hey peeps. My hard drive got fried today so I am computerless. I bought a new one, but it won't be ready until Friday. I can do most things from my phone so I'm not completely cut off. It just isn't as convenient. Hope you are all doing ok. Those that are trying the experiment, let me know how it's going...good or bad. Remember to keep your added meal about 70% fat, 20% protein, and under 20g net carbs (total carb minus fiber).

Re: Dead 💻 😞 Posted by Sonali on 4/9/2019, 12:30 pm, in reply to "Dead 💻 😞" I am still trying... Pam - Can you give me a list of foods a can/NOT have as part of your experiment program?

Food list Posted by Pam T on 4/10/2019, 5:38 pm, in reply to "Re: Dead 💻 😞" Here you go Sonali. Anything on this list is fine. Cook your proteins in fat. No cooking sprays. No artificial sweeteners. Coffee and tea are fine. No creamers. Moderate portions. You can add your meal every day, every other day, or just when you need it. Don't fear the fat. It is satiating and dietary fat will not increase insuline (fat storing hormone) levels and contribute to insuline resistance like carbs or excessive protein will. Proteins: Eggs-up to 3 Salmon-up to 6oz Sardines-1 tin Occasionally, Beef-up to 6oz, 80/20 ground, ribeye, or other fatty cut Fats: Bacon-up to 3 slices Olive oil Coconut oil Avocado oil Macadamia nut oil Butter Ghee Other: Olives Avocados Dark leafy greens cooked in or dressed in fat Season with salt/pepper. No rubs, sauces, or mixed seasoning producta. Often contain sugars and starches That's it!

Re: Food list——Thank you Posted by Yvonne on 4/13/2019, 10:40 pm, in reply to "Food list" Well, I did read the food list and I even printed it out. Guacamole!!! Yes!! I admit that I pigged out on guac once I saw the list. I am changing my ways and am going back to just Cambridge and string beans (for chewing). But the guacamole was very tasty, I must say!

Re: Food list Posted by Sonali on 4/12/2019, 8:56 pm, in reply to "Food list" Thank you for the list... what about chicken/shrimp?

Re: Food list Posted by PamT on 4/13/2019, 5:49 pm, in reply to "Re: Food list" The goal is satiety while not rewarding any cravings or with too much variety. That's why you want to limit seasoning to just salt and pepper ideally. Dark meat chicken might be ok, but not my preferred option. Shrimp is not as self limiting as eggs and salmon and you may overeat. Also, you would be taking in more protein and less fat. Fat is what will signal leptin, the satiety hormone, that tells you to stop eating. I would recommend sticking with the list at first and see if it works for you. Hopefully this will transition you in to SS, or at least get you to where you can SS most days and only use from the list on those days you feel the need. My first choice would be a couple of eggs cooked in butter and 3 slices of bacon. When you don't want that again, go to the other options on the list. It may get boring, but that's kind of the goal. At some point you will hopefully naturally start choosing to just have your Cambridge.

That was weird! Lol Posted by Pam T on 4/8/2019, 5:02 pm, in reply to "Dead 💻 😞" Not sure why my subject line posted like that
