Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ian DP" data-source="post: 880486" data-attributes="member: 91575">My diet is around 80% fat. I follow Dr Bernsteins 'Diabetic solution' book diet, but have found Dr Trudi Deakins 'Eat Fat' book very informative ( <a href="http://www.xperthealth.org.uk/low-carb-living" target="_blank">http://www.xperthealth.org.uk/low-carb-living</a> ) and both are very similar. Dr Trudi Deakin is a NHS / x-pert health dietician advisor, she is on 83% fat diet.My understanding, and certainly my experience, is that the more fat you eat the more sustainable your energy levels become and thus the need to eat between meals diminishes. I never now need / want to eat / snack between meals, indeed I could easily skip a meal and it would not bother me in the slightest.... But I don't, simply because I want to sustain weight.The best way to establish what your 'fat' content / % is, is through a web app like myfitnesspal. This will also tell you your carb and protein percentages plus your vitamin and other mineral daily amounts.A typical day for me is as follows:-Pre breakfast snack (to stop my BG levels rising on waking). Sliced almonds, pumpkins seeds, pine nuts, milled linseed mixed with double cream.Breakfast. 2x fried eggs, mushrooms and tomatoe fried in coconut oil with bacon, with a Bullet proof coffee (30g coconut oil, 30g butter, spoon double cream all mixed with coffee).Lunch. Rib eye steak with salad (incl avocado, tomatoe, cucumber, olives) and plenty of real mayonnaise Dinner. Cheese salad with plenty of real mayonnaise Lunch / dinner is often mixed around. I often have lamb chops, or pork chops, or salmon. I always choose fatty cuts of meat, and fry them. Always fry in coconut oil.</blockquote>
