It is my understanding that in order to control weight, or lose weight, one should eat low-fat, low starch, and at the same time maintain a high number of calories, a lot of protein, and take coconut oil and sugar to boost metabolism.
Did I get it right?
I am trying to eat 30-50g max of fat/day
2500-3500 calories
80-100 g proteins
4g PUFA (trying)
about 200 carbs
Edit to add: I'm 5'3", 133 pounds
I was NEVER able to do that in a day! why?
Here in Canada, I don't have easy access to gelatin (only porcine for jello. making bone broth)
and low-fat milk contains added stuff
When I limit fat AND starches, I have to eat a ton of fruits and juices to get enough calories, and I barely have enough protein.
I'm trying to prepare family meals in that context...
should I:
- live on jello?
- move to the US?
- spend less time on cronometer?
- limit fat and forget about starches?
How much is low starch really? :-?
