Zero Carb Keto: Eating Enough Fat!

Zero Carb Keto

Eating Enough Fat!

I am running low on mutton, which is naturally at a perfect ketogenic ratio of approximately 70% fat / 30% protein, and as I explained in my previous post, an ideal food for many reasons! 

Still trying to maintain a plastic-free, zero-waste mission, I returned to the canned grassfed beef that I have. But it is much leaner, in fact just 45% fat / 55% protein. And I noticed two important things!

One, I got much hungrier. So hungry in fact, I had to have a second lunch at Arby's, where their plain roast beef with no bun is just beef and salt and at 50% / 50% fat / protein. 

Then last night I had foot cramps again, which I have had before after eating too-lean meats or fish.

So I think that keeping to roughly 70% / 30% fat/protein is really important for me!

I have ordered more canned tushonka mutton and it should arrive tomorrow. Until then, I have two more cans of corned mutton. And if need be, I could try adding coconut oil to the grassfed beef to get it to the right fat ratio.

Waking at 1:30am to excruciating foot cramps is no fun! Fat is really important!
