You should seriously consider increasing your fat intake and decreasing your carbohydrate intake for a week, and see what happens to your weight. Eat the fattiest rib-eye steak you can get your hands on. Eat the crown (the fatty outer part of the steak) and give the central eye to your spouse. For every egg you eat, cook it in 2 tablespoons of butter Avoid nuts (too much carbohydrate) and cheese (too much protein). Live on the fattiest ruminants (animals that chew their cud) you can find. Instead of eating 8 ounces of salmon, eat 4 ounces of salmon, drenched in olive oil. By increasing your fat intake, and still keeping your calories under control (under about 1500 a day), you’ll be much less hungry and have far fewer cravings – and lose weight.
