Re: The Warrior Diet - Fit Day to figure out carb calories

[Guest guest]

Dear , Go to http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/Index.html to figure

out your carb grams. They offer a free account, but you have to sign

up. It's quite interesting, and can figure out how much fats,

protein, etc. you are consuming. This might help you a lot.

Hi - When I checked out my diet on fitday I found it was about 70%

good fat, 25% protein and 5% carbs. Calories is not what the WAP

diet is about, it's about getting plenty of good fats and protein.

Plus the fact that fats are higher in calories. Calories should not

be counted as a measure of what is healthy for you.

Hi Bee,

Thanks a lot. I don't think I'll use it though; I don't plan on

restricting the amounts of vegetables and fruits I eat. I was just

curious.

I think 2 pounds of veggies/fruit amounts to about 100 grams of carbs.

If so that means I have about 150 grams a day which isn't too bad.

My high fat is mostly from coconut oil that I take by the

tablespoonfuls straight (so to speak) before every meal. I'm up to

about 6 tablespoonfuls per day along with 2 tbls. of olive oil (for

the Vitamin E). I eat cream, creme fraiche, yogurt, kefir, olive

oil, lots of butter, cheese, and I use them mixed and interchangeably

on meats and veggies. And I have one serving a day of yogurt mixed

with creme fraiche and fresh fruit, after 2 tbls. of coconut oil. My

use of all fats, as well as Celtic sea salt, is extremely liberal.

My snack foods are cheese or yogurt. I rarely have grains of any

kind because I don't do well on them at all. For breakfast I have

raw eggs mix with cream or cooked eggs and bacon (on the weekend). I

have veggies on butter, rather than the other way around (like

swimming in it).

I find that one day I eat normally, and the next day I'm not very

hungry, so like the mice in the study I'm on a day and off a day. My

weight is fairly normal. I am 61 years old, 5' 6 " tall and wear size

12.

Since starting this regime my energy level has improved a lot. Maybe

I was an Eskimo in my past life. LOL!
