Changing your eating habits during fat adaption

(Katie the Quiche Scoffing Stick Ninja ) #1

Another post I saw sparked a few thoughts…

How does your eating change from being in ketosis to finally reaching fat adapation?

I’ve seen comments like… some people no longer have a BPC, they fast instead, or don’t eat as much fat as they are using their stored fat instead.

Am I supposed to lower my fat intake when I feel I am fat adapted?
Is anything supposed to change?
A woman said she fears she lowered her BMR by only eating OMAD.

Also, when you reach your goal weight, and want to start toning up, what do you do to stop losing weight? Eat more fat?

Sorry if this is all over the place, any help is appreciated :slight_smile:

Actually those are good questions that I have no experience in. My thoughts though are that

  1. after fat adaption I have been able to relax on my carb consumption and I have eaten above protein macro’s as well while so far only being kicked out of ketosis 1 time. Even then I was back in 8 hrs later.
  2. you can reduce your macro’s to the deficit setting now if you choose but most find it more beneficial to feast and fast as this is less likely to reduce metabolism and seems more productive to quick weight loss.
  3. on you journey to your goal weight it seems that goals seem to change. Usually people reach their goal and choose to continue and let the body establish where it is balanced the best on all levels, or the body does this before reaching the weight goal. Either way, where the body choose is usually going to be where you are going to be the healthiest.

Kate,
You might watch this and get some answers too.

Let your eating change on its own. Continue to eat fat to satiety, moderate protein, low carbs. Only eat when hungry, don’t eat when not. Lowering BMR on OMAD is possible if that one meal is say, at night for example. So they eat a huge meal, feel full, leave the table, do stuff for a few hours, go to sleep. This never allowed additional hunger signals. If they didn’t eat enough because they couldn’t and then skip to the next evening meal, they might chronically undereat.

If eating more fat stopped you losing weight, ketoers would be in a lot of trouble. Just do weight lifting exercise. You’ll never get to zero percent body fat or something so, you’ll never lose too much weight that you can’t replace with muscle.

Dr. Phinney lists canola oil on his best sources of fat list. Is this true?

Canola Oil is similar to olive oil .

It sounds like traditionally processed canola oil uses a heat technique and hexane processing, two things that do no one any favors. But canola oil can be cold pressed, which would be the better alternative.

Since the year 1995, biotech giant Monsanto has manufactured rapeseeds that are genetically engineered to be resistant to the herbicide RoundUp. Today, about 90% of the world’s canola crop is genetically modified. Yummy.

During this highly unnatural manufacturing process (heat + hexane), some of the oil becomes damaged. You just can’t tell because the oil is also deodorized, which removes the smell. One study analyzed canola and soybean oils found on store shelves in the U.S. They found that 0.56% to 4.2% of the fatty acids in them were toxic trans fats.

Overall, I’d avoid canola although the cold pressed organic variety would be a lot better if you were set on it.
