Best oil to use when in ketosis

(Juraj Ponkovič) #1

Hello :grinning:

what is the best oil to use in ketosis? Not cooking oil, just for cold salads, meal replacement powder etc

(Bob M) #2

Olive oil, avocado oil. No seed oils (canola, vegetable, soy, etc.).

I use olive oil mostly

Hereā€™s a favorite of mine (I usually add two more tablespoons of vinegar, apple cider, use extra virgin oil, buy the italian seasoning, add a few anchovies and use a stick blender):

Make your own mayo, with extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil:

Thatā€™s only one version; there are others.

how much oil can i consume in day?

Thatā€™s tough to answer. Considering that oil contains little to no nutrition, I limit my consumption to infrequent use. Today, I had london broil and smoked fish for ā€œlunchā€ , both of which are lean. I used that Italian Vinaigrette to add fat. Tuesday, I used bacon instead to add fat. But if my meal was fattier, I wouldnā€™t have used any fat.

But this way of eating had to be sustainable for you. If youā€™re used to eating salads every day, for instance, or itā€™s easier to stay on the diet if you do, than add some oil.

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #7

The advice is to eat fat to satiety. Keep your carbohydrate low, your protein moderate, and stop eating when you are full. Donā€™t eat again until you are hungry, you donā€™t have to eat just because the clock says to.
