[QUOTE="Celeriac, post: 936949, member: 188243"] Some people take LCHF to mean low carb high fat - and high protein. There are sources of fat out there which are low in protein e.g. olive oil, coconut oil, coconut cream, butter, clotted cream, duck fat, goose fat, lard, dripping, creme fraiche. Increasing your fat intake doesn't mean that you have to eat huge amounts of meat, especially as animals have been bred to be leaner. You can add more fat by putting butter on veg when you serve it, by using a variety of fats whenever you cook and by making cream sauces and your own mayonnaise. Cream or coconut cream in coffee, clotted cream as a snack. Not all proteins are created equal, some are more insulinogenic than others, regardless of their carb content or place on the Glycemic Index. Milk and cottage cheese are more insulinogenic than cream. I'm still reading up on the Insulin Index, but because I knew that most people eat too much protein anyway, and am an ex vegetarian, I am finding that I have been prioritising lower insulinogenic proteins anyway e.g. wild salmon. I don't eat protein at every meal. A lot of the Paleo bloggers even seem to prioritise meat before vegetables and IMO that's not healthy. [/QUOTE]
