Scorpio's Journal

[jenscats5]

Hey girl! Nice to see you started a log/journal! I've found it educational & helpful!

A suggestion: You may want to drop the deli meats - they have a lot of added junk that won't help your body. It'd be healthier to roast up a small roast beef on a Sunday & store some in the freezer & fridge for later & the week.

Thanks, Jen! Goin' to the grocery tomorrow. Getting lots of meat to cook - I'll probably be in the kitchen all day!!! lol

I'm trying to work in the Flax Seed Oil, but I just can't choke it down sometimes. I think because I was mixing it in those nasty Universal shakes that were making my stomach turn. It kind of ruined it for me. I keep thinking about it, but I'd rather do my CLA caps.

Could you post up your recipie for egg salad? I hate eggs but I like egg salad. Also, are you hungry during the day? It seems like you don't eat much?

Hi Scorpio Girl, you said in another post that sometimes you can have up to 125-150g of fat in a day. Is it OK to have these many fat grams, even though they're the good fats? I still don't understand the low carb / carb cycling thing. Since I've been logging, my fat grams have been over 50 and I've been worrying about it - I thought it was getting too high.

 

[scorpiogirl]

Ok, SB here's my Egg Salad recipe:

15 Eggs (only 7 yolks)
2 Cups Mayo (Real Mayo - not the best fat, but I low carb)
1 TBSP Honey Mustard
*optional* 1 TBSP sweet relish (I usually don't)
1-2 Packets Splenda

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mermaid....regarding the fats....here is a thread you might be interested in reading - and - I generally try to get 30-50% fats per day.

http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-7709.html

Here is some more info. for you:

FATS - Some dietary fats are good for your fitness goals and other dietary fats are very bad for your fitness and your health. Fats, like carbohydrates can either be burnt as energy or stored as bodyfat. Fats generally burn faster than carbs, therefore they are more readily stored as bodyfat. Dietary fats have roughly 9 calories per gram, as opposed to 4 calories per gram for protein and carbs. Along with being used as energy, healthy fats provide a host of other benefits, including maintaining overall health and even making your skin and hair look better. Unhealthy fats (saturated fats) can do just the opposite, especially to your skin.

Sources of "good" or "healthy" fats include but are not limited to:
• Fish Oil (basically fats found in fish)
• Nuts (good source of protein and healthy fats)
• Olive Oil
• Flaxseed Oil - can be found in most nutrition stores
• Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) - also can be found nutrition stores

Sources of "bad fats" include, but are not limited to:
• Anything that it deep fried (french fries, fried chicken)
• Fat from animal sources, such as the saturated fats found in beef and pork and the saturated fat found in milk.

Low carb - The basic idea here is to reduce calories by restricting carbohydrates considerably, while allowing more dietary fats. After you have used up the small amount of calories that comes from carbs, the body will be using mostly dietary fats (healthy fats only) as it's primary source of fuel. Sugars are basically eliminated on this diet.

I've tried low fat diets, and they just don't work for me - but that's just me.
