[QUOTE="Walking Girl, post: 2093095, member: 510059"] Regarding the coconut oil, he doesn’t like added fat/oil of any kind. His main focus is whole food. Eat it as it came out of the ground or off the tree. He really hates processed oils, and says other oils should be used sparingly. Eat the olives, skip the oil :) I did search his book - The End of Diabetes (which I like) and I see coconut shavings used as a sprinkle in some recipes, and some coconut milk. I personally keep a bottle of high smoke point avocado oil on hand, sometimes the grill needs a little oil unless I want to be scraping 1/2 my meal off later. In terms of the best plan, I think it’s just so individual. Look at the recipes almost all include in their books - what appeals to you most? Start there. If after 3 months or so, you feel good, and your blood tests come out well, then problem solved. One of the reasons I like Furhman is that, to me, he’s less ridged than most of the other you mentioned. Having a history of learning towards disordered eating, I really can’t do strict rules around food. He basically says eat the “perfect” healthy diet 85-90% of the time and just don’t stress about the rest of it. And don’t worry about tracking exact macronutrients or hitting exact numbers. That works for me. Sometimes you just NEED peanut butter slathered on a chocolate bar... [/QUOTE]
