I mentioned yesterday that I am going to try and lower my protein intake from 75g per day down to around 50g. That means increasing my fat as well.
I did some calculating, and I think the best way to accomplish this is to actually only eat two meals of meat per day, with my third meal being just a spoonful or so of fat.
I started this new plan yesterday. I had some good fatty lamb chops for breakfast, fatty mutton ribs for lunch, then a spoonful or so of coconut cream after work. I plan on using beef marrow instead of coconut cream when possible, since the beef marrow has higher nutrient content and no carbs, and does not irritate the digestion like plant matter sometimes does.
This morning my fasting glucose was very good and low, just 70mg/dl (3.88mmol/l). So the higher fat intake improves glucose and ketones.
The reason that I want to try and lower my protein intake is to prevent cancer formation from too much glutamine and methionine. From my understanding, cancer can feed on these amino acids just as well as sugars and starches!
The good thing about this change is that my whole lamb share should last longer, since I will only be eating two meals per day instead of three! But, I need to purchase the fats for the third meal of the day, and unfortunately those are not local. I have to order grassfed beef marrow online, and the coconut cream actually originates from overseas. I usually try to buy local foods as much as possible. So I would prefer to find another alternative. I tried local grassfed, raw, A2 casein dairy, but that caused problems for me. So I will keep brainstorming!
