Hiya Axel,
I am currently experimenting with increased animal fats and so far,
I am getting very promising results (less cravings for sugars and spice and
everything nice…well, sugars anyway). I have been doing quite a lot of reading
(thanks for all those links) and have come across some very convincing research
that affirms the wisdom of a much higher consumption of saturated fat (in the
form of animal fats) than I have encountered before. It is difficult at first to
set aside the age old dogma that fats are the enemy (especially saturated fats)
and accept the rather obvious notion, that fats and protein were (and should
still be) our primary source of fuel and nourishment in the good ol days… I
have not yet found sources for the animal fats you mentioned, but am seeking out
the cuts of beef, lamb, etc.. that have a higher fat content. I shall give it
some time and see how my body and digestion responds….
Meanwhile, I continue to workout at the gym (3 days a week), enjoy
minimal sleep, feel good anyway, sip my red wine, inhale my dinner, always eat

breakfast, munch on jerky and take way to many supplements. Man these bodies
require a lot of attention…but…a spirit sure needs a good vehicle to get
around and see the sights….soooo, I’ll keep changin the oil.
Take care,
Michael, O-nonnie

You see, Mr. Anders, I’m not too much “into” the olive oil. I simply use it as
a caloric extender to my meals, when I’m cautious of my animal supplies. I like
to eat the lard, the suet, the tallow, whatever. I like my lamb fatty, and I cut
it up and cook up the huge collections of fat in my lamb right with the muscle
meat with all its wonderful, beautiful amino acids (not to mention minerals).
Actually, when I can, I separate the fat and cut it up and add it at the end of
cooking, to minimize it’s time in the stress of heat. I like to cook it gently,
tenderly, lovingly. It is delicate and beautiful, like a little girl. If you
treat the fat well, the fat will behave beautifully in your body. I’m not much
into long cooking. I think my hour simmered stew, with the vegetables thrown in
a little later and the herbs at an hour before “serving or packing” temp. works
well enough, at least for me.
I use the olive oil on a regular basis, simply as a way to fend off the
inevitable scramble for goods. The cold of Minnesota’s winter is easier when
surviving on the right foods. Especially for us cave men, ugh? Og! Og! Og! Og!
Grwaahahaaa! Crog like! I don’t use nearly as much butter when I’m mixing my
beef fat and olive oil, though I may still add some. That lipid profile chart
was included, I hope, in my huge list of links at the beginning of the year.
I’ve had some nice stretches. I tell ya. Depending on my body’s rejuvenatory
needs.. 5 ounces, 6 ounces, 7 ounces, 7 ounces with an ounce or two of kidneys
or liver? Maybe a little more liver if required? Ever eat near 3 ounces of liver
and then follow that up with 7 ounces of muscle, with 300-500 calories from fat
and an egg yolk or two added at room-temperature (so as not to hurt those
enzymes) mixed in at the end? Now that’s some digestive power and
nutrient/energy loading. That’s what life should be like. That’s the way a human
should live. That’s life, my friend. We should be able to be that much alive. I
think *I* deserve that freedom, anyway. Freedom and joy. It is a pure thing, a
pure joy, a pure freedom. It is beautiful. But it can also be a delicate thing.
And these drugs can take away our sense of self enough to hinder or sabotage our
own ability to provide for ourselves, respond to ourselves, to be *good* to our
selves. To llllove our selves.
See what kind of other animal fats you can procure for yourself and your
tribe. I’ve found that the HFS and the supermarket, and the asian grocers, they
all fail to provide the fat my O-body wants most. Actually, I never knew what
kind of energy my body wanted to run on most until I started making friends at
my local Farmer’s Market. That’s when I began to truly live. The emotional
well-being is worth it. I don’t have to resort to something like chocolate, or
anything else, in order to be happy. (Except for the exercise, need to exercise
in order to be emotionally/mentally happy and healthy. Without physical activity
the only way to be happy is through drugs or engaging my mind in a book or
something similar (a distraction).)
