How to Eat More Fat

love this!!!!!

be clear, we are talking about good quality fat!

---

How to Eat More Fat   The leaders of the dietary establishment either keeled over or started arming themselves with pitchforks as I wrote that title. (It's a good day to enjoy the subversion, I think.) On a serious note, let me unpack this worthy question – one I tend to get often: how does one incorporate more fat into a day's eating? This common inquiry usually comes from someone new to the Primal way of eating; someone that has just started ditching grains and sugars and is having a hard time replacing carbs with the fats they've always been told to avoid. And replace, at least in part, they must, or experience the inevitable crankiness and hunger (and possible failure) associated with not eating enough food. Of all the things we do for our health, I think we all find this to be one of the more enjoyable efforts – at least once we get the hang of it. Go as clean as you can of course – pastured and organic or as close to it as you can obtain and afford. (It ensures better nutrition and fewer toxins.) But let's not get caught up in details today. I'm ready to dig in. Are you? Prep Foods Generously with Fat Oh, those glorious pan drippings that get poured down sinks or thrown away in doubled up Dixie cups! It's a disgrace really – not to mention a blow to your plumbing. Save the fats! Store them with pride. Put a set of beautiful glass jars on your Christmas list just for this purpose. (And let everyone know exactly how you'll use them.) Whether as hot drippings now or precious spoonfuls later, these fresh roasted fats are perfect for braising meats or sautéing stir fry. Alternatively, coat the skin of whatever fowl you're cooking with a lavish dollop of duck fat, and you'll have a bird so succulent and skin so crisp it'll make you cry over your carving knife. Pair veggies with fats. Sure, the clean and earthy tastes of vegetables stand on their own pretty darn well. (It's one thing so many people appreciate in going Primal – that reclaimed ability to taste the subtlety of fresh food.) That said, there's something so uniquely satisfying about vegetables treated to the richness of fats. Anyone who's roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon grease or drizzled chicken or goose fat over mashed turnips knows what I mean here. Stock Up on Dark and Organ Meats – and Fat for Fat's Sake Who are they calling cheap? The truth is, the anti-fat brigade doesn't know what they're missing. Let them pay extra for their boneless, skinless chicken breast. We're "whole animal" folk here. Their loss is our gain. So, relish those fully skinned chicken thighs, fatty roasts, and offal parts – and the fact that you got a good deal on them. MDA's got recipes galore to make sure you relish every frugal purchase. Although you'll be able to build up your own fat stores from cooking alone, consider buying a variety – slabs or rendered fats. Again, even the pastured, organic stuff can be budget-friendly here. A local butcher or direct-sale farm can set you up with fat from beast or fowl. Fat. Fish. The fattier the fish, the more chock full it generally is of healthy omega-3s (particularly if it's wild caught). Think smaller fish like herring, sardines, and anchovies, which are great whole as a snack or in salads. Larger fish like salmon, trout, and mackerel can be a first-rate main course but can also beef up a filling Primal salad. Bacon. 'Nuff said? Add Eggs The yolk is the star here fat-wise. Beyond the standard – but laudable – breakfast fare and hardboiled snack goodness, add chopped egg to (you guessed it) chopped salads. The uncooked (but heated if you prefer) yolk adds a richness to dressings and sauces. Don't Forget the Non-Animal Fats There's more to avocados than guacamole – although that alone is enough to love an avocado, isn't it? Pair it with shrimp or crab in endive lettuce, or grace just about any salad with its creamy presence. (I love it with chicken personally.) Make generous use of coconut oil and palm oil in your recipes as well as olives, nuts, seeds, and coconut meat. We've got plenty of recipes for some fresh ideas. Indulge in Full Fat, Pastured Dairy If You Can Tolerate It A side note: if you haven't been able to tolerate low fat milk in the past, don't write off dairy just yet. Try the real stuff before you cross it off the list. How about melted butter over roasted nuts or some Greek yogurt with a bit of fruit? Or maybe you're up for good cheese (raw is better if you can get your hands on some) and wine after dinner. Cream? What can't you add cream to? I'm a sucker for a really good cream sauce over chicken or seafood, and don't get me started on bisque soup. "Finish" All Manner of Dishes with an Extra Dash of Fat Here's where Primal friendly oils come in especially handy. A really good olive oil will take fresh spinach or salad greens to a whole new level. Avocado oil and sea salt over fresh tomatoes is heaven if I ever tasted it. Whether it's a splash of macadamia nut oil on a salad or a tablespoon of goose fat in a stew, fat can be a finishing touch like no other. I'm talking layers of flavor, people! So, I hope I was able to offer a little inspiration for this strenuous endeavor. Now seriously, who's up for lunch? Thanks for reading today, everybody. Be sure to share your own ideas for savoring more fat in your Primal Blueprint diet. Grab a Copy of The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Total Body Transformation and Start Getting Primal Today!

How to Avoid GMOs in Restaurants.Indian Suicides, US Seed Industry Damaged,

December, 2011 | VIEW IN BROWSER Jeffrey Smith   Avoid GMOs in Restaurants Listen to Jeffrey's recent interview, where he elaborates on how to avoid GMOs at restaurants. [Listen Now] Roundup Ready alfalfa has damaged the US seed industry The introduction of GM Roundup Ready alfalfa has been a disaster for the US seed industry, writes farmer Phillip Geertson, as it has lost overseas markets. The US alfalfa seed industry was the world's major producer of alfalfa seed and historically has exported more than half of the alfalfa seed produced. Geertson points out, "Export data would be very useful in determining the amount of damage that was done to the US alfalfa seed industry by the release of RR alfalfa into US agriculture." But such data is not available. 2007 was the last time the USDA reported the size of the US alfalfa seed exports. Perhaps not coincidentally, this was also the year that seed producers found that seed lots produced in Montana and Washington had been contaminated with the Roundup Ready gene. The only winners in this farming catastrophe are Forage Genetics and Monsanto, who own the patent on the gene that is now contaminating non-GM alfalfa. [Read the Article] Farmer suicides rising in India as GM Bt cotton crops fail The record suicide rate among farmers in India continues to rise, with one farmer now committing suicide every 30 minutes. Many media reports blame failed GM Bt cotton crops for the crisis. More than a quarter of a million farmers have killed themselves in the last 16 years in what is the largest recorded wave of suicides in history. An article for Sky News reports that one farmer who committed suicide "had been persuaded to use genetically modified seeds by the possibility of a better harvest. What he wasn't told was that they needed more rain than the region provided." Farmers who grow GM crops also have to borrow money for expensive pesticides and fertilizers. When the crop fails, they cannot repay their debts. The article comments, "Across rural India there is now widespread despair. The fields are also filling up with widows." [Read the Article] Bt cotton was first released for commercial growing in India in 2002, and the data on farm suicides show clearly that the last eight years were much worse than the preceding eight - which is alarming since the total number of farmers is declining. [Read the Article] India's Bt cotton "revolution" has lost its sheen over the past five years, with government data showing a consistent decline in cotton yield. Even as the area under Bt has grown to 93 per cent of the total area under the cash crop, the overall yield is estimated to decline to a five-year low this year. [Read the Article] Farmers and activists who oppose GM crops argue that none of the promises made during the introduction of GM seeds have come true. In certain cases, the opposite has happened. Some farmers report that crops failed to flower, producing no yield at all. Others report low yields and high cost of GM seed and chemical insecticides, which farmers still have to spray in spite of marketing claims that Bt cotton reduces or eliminates the need for them. As for GM proponents' claims that if GM seeds were so bad, farmers wouldn't buy them, it's clear that the consolidation in the seed market means that GM seeds are all that's available. [Read the Article] Argentine doctors report major medical problems with GM soy An important report by Argentine physicians documents a big rise in birth defects, up in parallel with expansion of GM Roundup Ready (RR) soy and the spraying of the Roundup herbicide it is engineered to tolerate. It also notes a high incidence of DNA damage, confirming laboratory research on Roundup - and neurological development problems. The report was originally published in Spanish in 2010 but has just been translated into English. The report arose from the 1st National Meeting of Physicians in the Crop-Sprayed Towns, at the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the National University of Cordoba.

Campaign, to direct one million comments to the FDA in support of the petition.[Sign the petition] Attention Californians! The 2012 California Ballot Initiative for mandatory GMO labeling papers are being filed the third week of October with the California Attorney General's office and the official petition gathering of 550-700,000 registered voters will begin at the first of December. This initiative has the potential to kick GMOs out of the US food supply, since manufacturers know that most Americans would refuse GM products if labeled.

Reminder: Many Cereals are Sweeter than Dessert Posted: 08 Dec 2011 04:30 AM PST The Environmental Working Group, a non-profit advocacy group, has published a not-so-surprising study concerning the sugar content of children's cereal. They reviewed 84 popular brands and checked out their sugar content. The most offensive product, Kellogg's Honey Smacks, is 56% sugar by weight! Who cares if such cereals are fortified by vitmins and minerals. That's way too much sugar in the diet of children who already are exposed to multiple sugar events every day. Cereal have become the de facto breakfast in a majority of US households. Fortunately, there are decent options out there for families. Here are our tips for choosing cereal: - less than 6 grams of sugar (1.5 teaspoons) - 3 or more grams of fiber - no artificial dyes (red #40, Yellow 5, etc…) - no partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats) - a short ingredient list What's your favorite healthy cereal?

Fwd: Can a Hollywood block buster convince you to get the flu jab?

06 December 2011

 

Dear Reader,

The film "Contagion" staring Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, and Jude Law, opened earlier this month. With a cast like that it's branded to become one of the biggest blockbusters of 2011. Unfortunately, it's just one big commercial for getting your flu shot?

Some "experts" sure hope so. Doctors at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey are saying the movie, in which scientists struggle to stop a new strain of the flu killing people around the world, will probably scare people but that it's "not necessarily a bad thing if it motivates them to get vaccinated."

In fact, they're hoping that the movie has people getting in line with their sleeves rolled up.

Of course, the same spokesperson for the university then goes on to say that the flu virus constantly mutates.

What does that mean, exactly? It means that the vaccine can't possibly be as effective as people riding a wave of fear after seeing "Contagion" would hope.

A given year's vaccine is always based on flu strains that struck in previous years (you can't fight what hasn't yet reared its head, after all). For example, this year's vaccine contains the H1N1 strain that struck two years ago. Will that do any good? Maybe — and that's a big maybe. Something that could fight the flu from two years ago might do nothing against this year's variety. It's all a big guessing game, really.

Not to mention the fact that there's evidence that flu vaccines don't offer adequate protection for seniors. Or that, back when the H1N1 strain was just about the only thing in the news, a group of nurses in Washington fought against a mandatory vaccine programme enforced on hospital staff in the US. These experts in health and wellness just weren't convinced by the flu vaccine marketing machine. But these facts won't stop people from thinking they're doing something to protect themselves and the people around them. After all, star-studded movies can make for strong propaganda.

Protection from the flu doesn't come from a patent medicine. It comes from a healthy immune system. And there are plenty of ways to get your immune system in flu- fighting shape before the sniffles even hit this season.

Dr Jonathan V. Wright has broken it down several times in the past. His recommendations for preventing and beating the flu include the following:

Vitamin D: Get plenty of sun and take 5,000 IU daily (2,000 to 3,000 IU for children).

Vitamin C: Adults should take a minimum of 3 grams per day (children should take less). Animals that make their own vitamin C ramp up production when they get sick — up to 10 times more than their bodies make when they're well. Dr Wright recommends taking the "bowel tolerance" level of C when you're sick — take as much as your body will tolerate without diarrhoea.

You should always consult a doctor skilled in natural medicine to come up with optimal levels of the vitamins and nutrients that will help you beat the flu this season and every season.
