eattoomuch - I focus on lean meats because I like them better. I also try to get the majority of my fat from olive oil. Right now I use a commercially bought mayo but after I'm finished with this jar, I will be making my own with olive oil. I also eat flax meal everyday (although I'm switching to the oil once I'm out of seeds). My next project is to re-read PPLP and other souces on the different types of fats and track the types I'm getting. I love cheese, but must limit myself or I can eat pounds at a time
If I have hard cheese, I limit it to one ounce. If I have cottage cheese, I limit it to 1/4 cup. Of course, I haven't moved into transition yet and at that point I may add more. But I don't want to go overboard on the dairy and would prefer most my carbs to come from raw veggies - and not just lettuce
. I have raw cauliflower, broccoli and asparagus or mushrooms every day on my salad. As to nuts - they are a definite binge mechanism for me
I went crazy with them when I first started LCing because I'd denied myself having any for years. I have come to realize I just need to stay away from them - not necessarily forever, but at least until I have the eating disorder part more controlled
I also did SF desserts when I first started - but once again, the old binge mechanism set in. So I avoid them for now. One day I WILL conquer the bulemia, but until then...there are just some things I can't on a daily basis. Of course, this is all just my experience - YMMV.
