My review of "Fat Fast Cookbook" by Dana Carpender

[Sunshine]

As I've been increasing my weight lifting to help give me the body shape I'm looking for … I noticed I was feeling more hungry.  Everyone said add carbs to help your muscles recover.  Hmmm, wasn't sure I wanted to go down that road.  So I thought - maybe adding some extra fat would help and low and behold I came across this book.  There are 50 recipes 80% fat and higher.  I've had great results adding in a few items to hold me over.  The book explains the original "Fat Fast" but gives some ideas that I hadn't thought of personally - but the more seasoned person may find this unnecessary.  Anyway - there's my thoughts!  Have a great 4th!

Sunshine, " Everyone said add carbs to help your muscles recover."

I don't know who "everyone" is but it certainly didn't come from your FTS family.

Fat's will certainly make you feel full but PROTEIN is what you need for muscle re-growth.

YES you do need to replenish muscle glycogyn stores as you burn them BUT our eating plan already supplies those carbs within your 20 per day. Berries, veggies and nuts will give you all the carbs you need.

Agree.  I've done several protein calculators and put my macros together.  I take a recovery supplement and muscle growth is happening and I'm able to lift heavier on a regular basis.  So it seems to all be coming together.  For example, instead of Deviled Eggs, I add a little bacon and cheese or any bits of leftover avocado.
