No, I'm not afraid of fat and yes, I eat some olive oil (in addition to C60/EVOO) and some nuts. I eat some meat but don't have the time to cook a lot due to a busy schedule and therefore frequently eat fat free dairy (cottage cheese or greek yogurt) or eggs for protein as it's quick,easy, and nutritious. I tend to eat moderate carb and get most of my carbs from vegetables and fruit snacks. As a general rule of thumb, I believe in the old time tested rule "all things in moderation". The important thing is calorie or energy intake versus energy burned. It's not so much what you eat as how much you eat as long as your diet covers the necessary nutritional bases. I do use supplements to help achieve that. I try to eat at maintenance or lean towards a small deficit most of the time and monitor this by weighing every morning, tracking my body fat %, matching my eating to my activity level, and knowing my body and adjusting diet to results. Lifestyle by habit and knowing how your individual body works along with flexibility in adjusting to results definitely is key.
Thank you for your comments.
My diet doesn't sound too dis-similar to yours.
I'm not eating much - breakfast, dinner, and one small snack.
I've been losing weight at around 0.5 kg/ week for the past several months.
So far, my body fat (as measured by a fitbit aria wifi scales) is holding steady or declining. It's still pretty high, though - it only recently dropped under 17%.
My exercise consists of walking to and from work each day (around 50 min/ day of brisk walking) and a 50 min slow jog twice a week. I don't do any weight lifting/ resistance training.
I asked about the meat because I don't eat much. Sometimes I wonder if I could benefit from eating a bit more.
