So I've been kind of eating a mix of mostly ground beef, suet, back fat, and egg yolks for the past week and i've been getting fatter (less lean) than i've been. So I have been ZC more from coincidence than conscientiously. Is this a transitory period where ZCers usually gain fat/weight before becoming better fat adapted? I've also read that having a high fat to protein ratio plays a significant role in this.
FYI heres what I've been basically eating:
1.5 pound grassfed organic ground beef mixed with half a palm size (maybe smaller) or back fat and maybe about a half cup of suet everyday, and maybe 3-4 egg yolks now and again . The past three days I found the above to not be satiating enough so I also ate maybe up to an additional 2 tennis ball chunk size beefs.
Maybe I am not getting enough fat so I over ate the protein and the excess has turned to glucose and then fat?
Today I ate no egg yolks but I upped my fat that I mix in with my ground beef a lot more. I was eating it as I normally do but I found that I felt full pretty fast so I set the rest aside. I ate some more several hours later and I felt full fast again. Basically today I ate 1.3 pounds of total mixture and I'm feel full. Normally I would be wanting more meat/egg yolks and whatnot but I feel very full. And I also feel somewhat heavy. Is this because I'm getting the fat/protein ratio right?
Maybe the heaviness feeling is due to putting way more suet into my mixture than back fat? Maybe put in a larger ratio of back fat since that is supposedly easier for digestion and will thus get rid of the heavy feeling?
I would appreciate any anecdotes/advice/input from you guys.
Thanks
