If you go eat a cow or a horse right now, it’s good for you. Why do you overcomolicate this? It’s not very complicated at all. My diet is largely eggs, olive oil, meat, fish, salads with olive oil and vinegar. I can’t gain weight if I tried. And I’m in great shape.

The problem is to get enough protein every day, and after you have met your protein, it really doesnt matter how balanced your other kalories is, but a good rule of thumb for anyone is 25% protein, 45% carb and 30% fat, and from there as long your protein is met, you can actually do whatever you want, as long you stay inside your total amount of kalories. If working out regulary, I would had higher protein intake. What else you need to consider is how nutrient your diet is, and add vitamins and minerals if necessery, and balance with enough fibers, as well. This^^^ Get enough protein (71 kg =120-150g )is my main concern. I let the mirror tell me if I'm I'm consuming too many carbs. I rarely step on the scale which I think is not wise but I exercise enough to get away with it. When it comes down to it, calories in has to roughly equal calories out every week. I get some have metabolic issues but most don't until they wreck their metabolism or even more rare, are genetically challenged. IMO, our society has created countless reason why it isn't an unhealthy persons fault that he/she is a physical mess. Odd how 75 years there was basically no obesity. Hyper-evolution? To each his own and being unhealthy surely must have benefits other than the short lived carb rush. Have great friends that are obese and most are smarter than I(low bar).

It takes literally a day of googling health indicators and learning what they mean. Over a few years you will become much more knowledgeable than most experts in regards to "your" health. Alternatively go to a doctor and have them tell you nothing important until it is blatantly obvious you are screwed. Doctor are busy and unless you have loads of money to spend on quality health care, not knowing how to determine your own health seems crazy.

JensenZ Posted Thursday at 01:32 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:32 PM (edited) 7 hours ago, Lacessit said: Oils are liquid at room temperature, fats are solid. Fats are usually higher in the glyceryl esters of saturated fatty acids such as palmitic and stearic acid. Oils contain more unsaturated fatty acids, variations of oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acid. Liquidity also depends on whether the fat/oil has differing proportions of monoglycerides, diglycerides, or triglycerides. I have found a low fat option in cooking is an air fryer. I line the cooking basket with aluminium foil, and spray with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. No mess, no fuss. Going into the properties of different oils and which is healthier was not necessary and I said as much. I was replying to the comment "a lower fat oil". However, you are wrong about oils not being fats. Oils ARE fats. It's the state of the fat that had you confused. Oils are liquid fats. When they are solid, they are solid fats, but they are always fats. Of course, coconut oil is confusing, as it is solid below 24C and liquid above 24C. Should we call it coconut fat at lower temperatures due to it being solid? I don't think so - even when solid it's still called coconut oil. When we put solid fats such as butter or lard in a frying pan and it melts and it becomes a liquid, we don't call it oil. Fat is a macronutrient which provides 9 kcal per gram of energy. The state of it is irrelevant, whether it is solid or liquid. Edited Thursday at 01:47 PM by JensenZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenZ Posted Thursday at 01:46 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:46 PM 7 hours ago, VBF said: Rapeseed oil, widely available and cheaper than olive oil in UK, but I don't know about Thailand. I've now got to where I prefer it for cooking. It's also much easier to clean from utensils which, to me, shows that it's lighter. The best cooking oils are ones that are stable at heat so it doesn't break down into toxic chemicals. Overheating certain oils can create byproducts such as acrylamides, toxic aldehydes, hydroxy linoleate, free radicals, and trans fats. The more saturated the oil the better. Coconut oil is one of the best and we are lucky to have such an abundant supply of it at a cheap price. I never have problems cleaning pans after using coconut oil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is based on facts. There is only one fact to consider here. The more saturated a fat is, the more stable it is when heated. Unsaturated fats should be consumed cold. They should not be used for frying. Have you ever heard of cold processing of highly unsaturated oils? There's a good reason not to apply heat - they are easily oxidized, which is not a good thing as it produces toxic byproducts.

It’s not very complicated in my estimation. There’s a lot of actual bad foods people,eat often, and they don’t know they are bad. Saturated fat isn’t one of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be used for industrial purposes like lubrication, but its high erucic acid content makes it unsuitable for eating. Canola oil: This is a type of rapeseed oil that has been bred to have low levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates (which can give a bitter taste). Canola stands for "Canadian oil, low acid" and is generally recognized as safe for consumption. In most places, like North America and Australia, "canola oil" is the term you'll see on grocery store shelves. Rapeseed oil, if available, is likely for industrial uses. Indeed (and also to @gamb00ler ) in UK it's definitely sold as Rapeseed oil - available in most supermarkets. I've never seen Canola oil here, but then I've never actually looked for it.
