I was surprised today that I seem to have put on some extra fat. Obviously there are pathways for protein to fat and fat to fat, but one piece of advice from the subreddit where I started was

eat fatty meat until you don’t want more

I followed that, the other was for setting the fat percentage

Eat more fat if digestion is too slow (code for difficult pooing) eat less if it’s too fast (loose poo)

I should be eating less fat.

I think I’ll change my standard order from Scotch fillet (I think that’s rib eye fillet in American) to half Scotch fillet and half something lean

Or I could exercise a lot more. They say you can’t outrun a cheeseburger, you definitely can’t outrun the fat in a 2 inch Scotch fillet cooked to very very blue

Christmas and New year’s drinks may have also contributed either directly (is there a booze to fat pathway?) or by offsetting the food I need

    I was so fat when I ate vegetables. Even low carb vegetables, but especially when eating potato, carrot, and bread

    I went from 115kg to 88kg eating exactly what I eat now (though lower fat while I was super fat, high fat once I was under 95kg), I just don’t get as much exercise as I did so I need to reduce energy, and since I eat the most fatty beef available (except the stuff fed grain that would have been better pointed to human food)

    I feel that recommending vegetables is a banable offence in this community, but Jet seems gentler than me

    @jet please may I swing the banhammer? Maybe for 2 days or so?

      Oh yeah, Rule 1, Rule 4 violations!

      Recommending vegetables is fine; Downvoting your post, then telling you to stop eating meat isn’t respecting your choices or being nice.

      It is possible to eat too much protein beyond what your body wants, and it could get converted into glucose, you could check with a ketone meter; but the obvious feedback loop would be if your forcing yourself to finish your meal.
