Quick Tips with Coach K! Why 80/20 higher fat carnivore may not be working for you.
Highly asked question the past few weeks. Here’s input based upon my experience & people who may fit an avatar like me.
**DISCLAIMER: I want you to find an approach & WOE (way of eating) that makes YOU feel AMAZING no matter what it is. This is not to throw shade on any diet approach, simply sharing my experience & reason why it may not be working for you if you’re similar to me.
Summary in a shot glass:
- I personally do better on a higher, optimal protein approach. I’m an avid exerciser, athlete, do crossfit, lift weights, & live an active lifestyle. I want to build & maintain as much muscle as possible.
- I have Crohn’s disease & don’t have a gallbladder, my fat threshold is lower (means I can’t eat as much fat) than someone with a gallbladder who digests & absorbs fat well. Through personal experience tracking food & experimenting for DECADES I discovered when I ate higher fat over 150g/d, my digestion was terrible, I had slow motility, became constipated, inflamed, & gained weight.
- I am lactose intolerant. Dairy causes gut upset. I’m unable to add large amounts of butter & cheese to help me increase fat. I also don’t digest pork well & bacon fat in larger quantities also causes digestion & histamine issues.
- I lived decades with disordered eating. I binged & purged & also had bouts of anorexia. I am a volume eater, which means I feel more satiated & “safe” on higher volume foods like meat vs low volume food like fats & oils. It is difficult for me to feel when I’m full on high fat, which leads to overeating & thus gaining weight. Self awareness is everything y’all.
Thank you for allowing me to express my experiences & I hope they help you!
If you need additional help, I would love to listen & assist.
