Fruits price? rice? B12? sugar? veggies?

It depends on how much you need at that point. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Otherwise keep the sip the same but vary the frequency according to need.

This might be the same thing, in the end.

After I eat my egg yolks or fish I'm not really inclined to be physically active. This seems more so with yolks than with fish, btw. There are also limits to the uptake, not because of a full stomach, but because of very strong "enough" signals. This sounds very vague, I admit...

Taking dietary fiber supplements when you go to eat sweets, junk foods etc... would help in insulin spike?
I don't talk about something miraculous of course, just something that would help to make it less bad.

No, you'd be better off making sure to eat sufficient fats with the meal.

So for example, if I go to a cake shop or a Macdonalds, I must bring my olive oil bottle?
There are already fats inside MacDo foods, but of course it's trans fat or oxidized fat. So this does not count?

I think the trans-fatty acids do count. Of course they'll end up in your body fat as a result.

ha ha, indeed, the last thing you need to worry about is fast food containing too little fat!

Worrying about the kind of fat it contains is on the other hand very much in place

But dietary fibers still could help a little, in the insulin response too though? In this case, they can do more good than harm?

Does someone have informations about Mc Donalds' burgers? I know what's wrong in their french fries, maybe meat too; but what about bread they use for burger and the salads, tomatoes etc... Are those ok? I suppose they are not organic?

Why would fiber help?

Because it slows down passage of sugar into the blood?

Why not use a source of fat to slow down the release of sugar? It is easier to digest and provides energy.

I'm not so sure fiber would actually do that. They do fill up the stomach more, so you'd feel more satiated for a longer period. This doesn't change the body's need for energy though.

Ok but let's take an example: MCDonalds' burger. They do have fats inside? So adding more fat, like olive oil, would still help in this case?
Making me wondering, the more we add fats, the more we are able to eat sugar?

Another subjct: is raw milk dangerous? Some place I read yes, some others no. So what about it? If you have choice between pasteurized and raw which one is prefered?
About pasteurized low fat milk, it is better than the normal one because we get less oxidized fat?

Which fish the best for fat? If I don't eat fish everyday, it is better for me to take the most fatty fish?

Post by **Oscar** » Mon 06 Jul 2009 10:32

I don't think you'd need to add more fat if there's enough fats in the food.

Milk isn't good for us, but raw isn't more dangerous. Raw is better than pasteurized.

Salmon or tuna are fatty fish.

-And about pasteurized low fat milk, so it is less bad than the normal one because we get less oxidized fat?

-which chocolate do you recommend between these: 72 or 86% cacao?

-I try to decide which food to choose for my starvings periods. But I'm lost because of the vegetable/plant oil fact. Everybody say it's bad.
Plus, even if they are human-made or natural, when you cook them they become trans fat. So the result is the same. So when MacDonalds says they don't use it anymore, it's not that true because they still heat there oil so it becomes trans fat, right?
And me, when I check for snacks like cookies, chocolate cakes, butter cakes, whatever cakes, ice cream, processed sushis, noodles etc... I found vegetable oil inside all. I cannot find a product without it (almost).
So what about it? Are all processed foods like the one I named inevitably contain trans fat?
