Man, you seriously need to cut back on the protein. Your body has no need for more than 50g protein per day unless you are body building. Animal protein is the worst because it is harder on the kidneys due to more urea. If your target is to lower cholesterol and remove plaque from your arteries, go on a 15 day white rice diet, a pinch of salt per day and fresh fruits/veggies. No meat, no dairy. No upper limit on calories per day. Eat as much as you want to avoid being hungry. You can have a 20g scoop of plant based protein powder every other day to keep your muscle mass intact. You will notice that there is hardly any fat in this diet. The lack of dietary fat will force your body to seek out all stored fat, especially visceral fat (the worst kind) and that will help to rejuvenate your liver. After 15 days, you can return to whatever diet you prefer.
Word of warning: it's HARD. Be mentally prepared to deal with cravings and strengthen your will to stay on track and disciplined the entire 15 days. Good luck!
I’ve come to have a very stable and consistent intake ovo- and pesce-based foods. I hate regular eggs but have an affinity for pasture raised ones.
I eat primarily for teeth health and less obvious risk factors. Teeth being bone, means I’m also addressing bone health. Thus, the days often starts with fat soluble vitamin foods. A can of sardines in EVOO or smoked herring(D3, omegas-3s). Then depending on appetite, one or two pasture raised eggs(K2 and a wide host of vitamins). I recently wanted to gain fat for cold insulation(from 118 to 126 from mid Oct to just this Thursday ), so I’ve eaten a starchy pancake or glutinous rice pancake cooked in grass fed butter after the fish and eggs. The pancake is cut into small swallowable pieces with a knife and fork.
I’ve also consumed peanuts or peanut butter as a vitamin E source.
I’ve eaten blackberries quite often.
The rest of what I eat is a generally variable revolving door of low sugar foods. Sometimes I’ll eat beans. Other times cheese, fatty red meat, cruciferous vegetables, onions, dark chocolate or sugar alcohol chocolate, cheese, etc.
I believe the body compensates when the protein intake is higher. I certainly poop with less frequency.
I’ll eat tofu before any powder. Combined with salted/fermented Chinese radish, such a meal can be actually satisfying to kill desire for meat for a day. My protein shake/powder chugging days are long gone.
Lol, white rice?
I’m Chinese. I’ve eaten a lot of white rice in my life The starches in white rice get cleaved by enzymes in the mouth and small intestine into glucose very efficiently. The difference between white rice and a glucose tablet, candy, white bread, is not great. The release of insulin is going to come along with white rice and certain sweeter fruits.
In order to metabolize fat, insulin alone needs to be kept out of the way because insulin signals cells to take in fats and glucose while also preventing the fat from being metabolized. The prevention of fat metabolism by insulin is caused by insulin inhibiting lipase.
The reason your method has cravings is precisely from the white rice triggering a hormonal response most conducive to snacking and repeat eating.
I will also point out even Nathan Pritikin gave a limited green light to eating fatty fish, although only a serving a day. I notmally can’t eat more than a can if it comes in EVOO anyway.
