eating ENOUGH Fat

[ohdearmissus]

Is it possible to not be eating enough fat?
Im just having cider vinegar on salads (dont need any olive oil) but wondering if I should put it on anyway?
Having oily fish (makerel, salmon) eggs, feta cheese.
I guessed that body would use fat from stores, but don`t want to get it wrong.
Thanks

You can’t cut carbs AND fat, that way starvation lies

It might take a bit of getting used to, if you’ve previously been a low fat dieter. On low carb, add natural fats to veg, salads, leave natural fats on meat, eat avocado...
Butter, coconut oil, olive oil... yum!

Avoid low fat versions of prepared foods, they tend to be stuffed with carbs/sweeteners/additives to replace the fat!

Btw, a little fat added to veg/salad helps with the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the veg/salad.

Yes you definitely need plenty of fat, otherwise you're just on a crash diet.
You're wanting to have fat as your primary fuel source instead of carbohydrates. Definitely get that olive oil onto your salad.

Thanks everyone, that`s really helpful

It's fat as a proportion of your total daily intake. So high fat, medium protein, low carb. So you don't just stuff youtself with fat for the sake of it, but make sure it breaks down to that high medium low.

Fat satiates you also and makes you feel fuller for longer.

The way that worked for me and a few ketoers on Reddit is to have three simple rules for your macros

Protein is a goal - Try to hit this every day

Carbs are a limit - Try not to go over this

Fat according to calorific needs. - Planning on dropping your calories from 1600 to 1200? Decrease the fat intake, keep protein and carbs the same. Exercising hard and need to increase the calories back up to 1400 or 1500? Increase the fat, keep protein and carbs the same.

If you're not feeling hungry as you are right now then just stick to it. Start to feel peckish and you are within your set calorie allowance? Have something fatty.
