I’ve been maintaining my weight for a while now but lately it’s been rising so I’ve adjusted calories accordingly, but I’m curious what you see as an acceptable “fluctuation” when you’re maintaining?

    I guess I can’t really contest it if you say a cup of olive oil would keep you full. That’s not something I’m willing to try for myself. I’m curious about this butter trick you mention though. I can’t find anything about it.

    Consider a steak, which is just fat and protein… it starts delicious and wonderful, but quite rapidly it loses its luster and by the end eating the last few pieces can be quite a chore… this is how all food should be, and it can be, in the absence of carbohydrates.

    My stomach capacity for a good steak or plain rice is approximately the same for both as measured by Calorie content. Though, combing both does allow me to eat more in total, so I guess maybe that’s what you’re trying to say. In any case, I’m not saying you’re wrong on this point. My criticism was about your comment consisting of a bunch of disjoint statements under the guise of being supporting sentences.

      I’m not saying that. I really don’t recommend drinking olive oil as food. Fat and protein should be consumed in a solid form

      The butter trick is easy to test, next time your hungry just “think” about eating a bit of butter - does it sound like a good idea? If yes, your hungry. If no, your craving something like carbs or sugar.

      I’ll work on improving my use of English.
