Anyone else on a low carb, high fat diet? What do you usually cook?
so many eggs. with lots of different preparations: fried, scrambled, omelettes, hard-boiled,
and i fucking hate eggs too. but they're the #1 LCHF food, so i force myself to eat them.
next big staple: cabbage family vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, brussel's sprouts, kale, etc.
other good non-starchy vegetables: avocado, chili peppers, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, green beans, spinach, salad greens
meat is expensive, so i go with chicken thighs and ground beef.
i pour a ton of seasoning into the ground beef and use it in "taco salads".

I haven't eaten that many eggs this last week. I bought over 4 pounds of beef sirloin and I've been eating that for 1,5 week. Just slicing off a steak and frying it on the pan.
You shouldn't eat chicken if you want to lose weight, though. It digests really easily and raises your insulin. At least eat it with lots of vegetables to slow digestion.

Beef spikes insulin more than chicken. Also insulin spikes are totally fine.

sausages, chicken thighs, fatty beef cuts
broccoli, spinach, asparagus all cooked in olive oil
when I started I cared about macros and insulin and all that bullshit but it's not sustainable in the long run.
lost 60 lbs in about 8 months. the only hard part is avoiding all the hidden sugar in sauces etc

I can't find any studies. It's all forum posts and hippie blogs. Most seem to say that beef/chicken/pork all cause insulin levels to spike.
Telling the dude to not eat chicken is just foolish. Everyone on keto eats chicken.

>raises your insulin
The insulin helps drive amino acids into the muscle cells where they’re needed.
When we eat protein-rich food, another chemical is released by the body that actually has a contrary effect to insulin. Protein-rich foods also result in a release of glucagon. (Carb-rich food does not.) Glucagon raises blood sugar levels in part to allow for absorption of amino acids in the liver and their subsequent transformation there to glucose.
For people without diabetes, the insulin and glucagon responses mitigate each other, and we’re looking at a healthy picture.
