Eating many meals will likely make you heavier. You probably have a
chronic low-level inflammation going on, as well as suppressed
metabolism. You need to avoid polyunsaturated fatty acids and oxidized
cholesterol. Also, too much iron, anything with carrageenan, etc. must
be avoided. In practice, this means you can eat shellfish, dark
chocolate, whole milk dairy (stay away from homogenized), coconut oil,
and most fruit and vegetables (berries and tropical fruit are best, and
a few broccoli florets now and then). Breads/grains are okay in small
amounts, but no whole grains. Once you get control of the oxidative
stress your current diet is producing, the inflammation will attenuate,
and then the hunger will lessen. The key is to eat foods with sugars
in them with high fat foods. An interesting experiment from a few
years back showed that this is very satisifying, and you don't have to
worry about the "glycemic index" because when you eat sugar with fat
there is no "sugar rush." Keep protein consumption fairly high too, in
other words, don't go out of your way to avoid protein. Just stay away
from polyunsaturates and boil foods high in cholesterol (or eat raw if
possible). Remember that lard, a so-called "saturated fat," is
actually only 39% saturated and has not antioxidant cover, and so
should be avoided. Other fats like chicken, turkey, and beef tallow
are also a problem, so just stick with boiled shellfish. Once in a
while tuna is okay, if the can says no fat, and be sure that soy is not
added to it. "White fish" are also okay once a week or so, but with it
you should probably steam it with lemons on top.
Read the book Overdosed America and you'll see that all the studies and
recommendations you hear about in the mainstream media are basically
the opposite of what the science actually indicates.
On this type of diet, I raised my HDL from 40 to 63 and the LDL is
still in the so-called normal range. Also, my blood glucose went from
94 on a vegan diet to 75 now. A recent MRA showed now signs of
atherosclerosis at age 39, after being on this diet about 3 years. I
eat three meals a day, and am never very hungry, so I don't eat a huge
amount of calories. Last night I made crabmeat newburg (cooked by
stirring constantly on low-medium in a butter and yogurt sauce, which
is okay in terms of not oxidizing much, if any, of the lipids).
Good luck!

I'm trying to lose some fat, reducing cal intake, doing some cardio
everyday, plus some strenght training too.
1. Im still new in this, and some of the tips i see most
frequently,
Quoted message said:is to eat some small meals, at least 6.
But what should this meals be?
Should they be based on low-glycemic, so that keeps me "busy"? This
way, energy source would be mostly those carbs, and almost none of
fat?
Or if i get higher GI, would it burn more fat?
What's the best way?
2. What about the breakfast? What should it be made of?
3. Is there a way to measure my body fat percentage, at home, with
some precision? I've read about calippers, but is there another way?
I
Quoted message said:have found some sites, that have some calculations, inputing some
body
Quoted message said:measures, but i need a more precise measure. They give different
values.
Thanx.
