Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

1

Several threads have suggested upping fat intake to help reduce cravings, and to feel more satisfied. What are the best sources of good fats when having a hankering for more food (especially non-paleo food)?

Greek yogurt is my staple.

Eat some more bacon. Or do what they do in Germany and use bacon fat (schmaltz) as a topping, like butter.

Butter your cheese, like they do in France. Since whole milk cheese is already 50% fat, it's like piling on.

Duck fat and goose fat are good too, and relatively high in monounsaturated fats, so possibly healthier than fully saturated fats like butter.

schmaltz is chicken fat no? – ben61820 Oct 2 2011 at 20:02

In Ravensburg it was bacon grease but they could be an outlier...too close to Switzerland maybe... – thhq Oct 3 2011 at 20:10

yeah...griebenschmaltz (or close to that) is the pork fat kind. All this German fatty talk is making me hungry for a crispy roasted joint (schweinhaxe?) and sausages of all kinds but especially weisswurst. It's that time of year again. – thhq Oct 3 2011 at 20:44

I find butter to be satiating. 1 or 2 tbsp.

	Eric, do you eat it straight? I am looking for ways to eat fat rather than carbs when I feel "I need something", but don't have the variety of options most folks seem to have. – Cave Tomboy Oct 3 2011 at 9:56
	Yes straight ... – Eric Oct 3 2011 at 11:09

Marrow is my bacon :) I am trying to discover new ways of using marrow. Usually i just roast one or two bones and include marrow on top of steaks, liver etc. Sometimes with mushrooms. Used even once with salmon, not bad btw :)

If like us you go in for a little dairy here n there then, cheese, butter's, real greek yoghurt, but also coconut oil is good. But of course perhaps the best option is to go for fattier cuts of meat for your main meals. A family favourite in our house is Belly Pork cooked till the fat is crispy...mmmmmm!

Best sources of good fats?
