Cooking Oil: Extra virgin Olive Oil.

@anup bhai.. is it good choice???

[suramo Star in reply to cure]

cure

Kya bade bhai ? Evoo for dressing only. Any oil like groundnut, mustard, sesame etc having mufa and pufa not fit for cooking. On cooking they become oxidised / rancid producing toxic substances. Only saturated oils good for cooking 🐒🐒🐒

[cure Administrator in reply to suramo]

Very true suramo

Further as I said ghee has acceptability on pan India basis...

I always trust that whatever is locally available and our ancestors used it for generations is good for us..our body is adapted with those things.

Further economics...and adulteration are also the issues.

One can make ghee at home...which is safe...and one can be very sure about adulteration.

[cure Administrator]

is that the reason for very high TG??

or is it regular apple consumption??

[cure Administrator]

AST (SGOT) 86

ALT (SGPT) 113

GGPT 63

Very high...this issue needs to be looked in priority...

[cure Administrator in reply to cure]

once this is tackled TG will fall down...

[cure Administrator]

His liver needs help.....

[cure Administrator]

Use of ghee is better for cooking than olive oil..also i think economical.

[cure Administrator]

Some ppl may not like flavor of coconut oil.....

even for me...I enjoy fish fried in coconut oil...but eggs should be fried in ghee...

Snacks: Home made mixture of roasted channa, puffed rice, poha, peanuts. Fruits apple, watermelon, orange etc.

For a diabetic...most unhealthy snacks I guess

[cure Administrator]

Most of north Indians like taste of Ghee instead of coconut oil...

And Bengali will like Sarson ka oil

[cure Administrator in reply to cure]

and I think most of Indians will enjoy Ghee.....

My question to Anup sir that as am from east we take sarso ka tel(mustard oil).Thougj I use ghee in roti(one only) ,please comment on mustard oil in cooking.

[cure Administrator]

Food is not for recreation. It's for living.

A very debatable....most of diabetics enjoy food most...rather they love food...

So making life easy..at the same time..helping them to maintain health should be the goal...

these diet is for all?, First of all understand that there is no diabetic decease. these are all created by corporate pharmaceutical companies to make profit ,Change your life style . Follow . Have look @anatomicfoundation.org /Anatomic therraphy.org. Then you never take medicine

[EHEH]

Hi,

Thanks for the responses.

I am following the diet mentioned above for last 3 weeks after the lab tests came in.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil using since last 7-8 yrs.

First indication of high BG was 8 years ago which was controlled till now by diet & life style changes & exercise swimming in summers/walking winters; High TG since 15 years.

Q: With high TG & Fatty Liver, will the High Fat diet work for me & wont hurt the liver even more ?

Also even b4 fatty liver was diagnosed I was not eating high amount of ghee/oil/butter, does this mean my body's disposition is towards high TG, even when I take precautions ?

BTW I am 48 years old.

Wt loss 8% in 3-4 months.

Sugar Med started 2 weeks ago.

Rgds,

[suramo Star in reply to EHEH]

Your main problem is diet. @anup is right in saying reduce carbs to a great extent. Your fatty lever will revert to normal.

[cure Administrator in reply to EHEH]

EHEH ok...it is very natural that you may have sort of fear in your mind about fats..so initially you may go for low carbs low fat diet..

I also had same sort of fear in mind when I got introduced to this concept...even my family members were very against will consumption of high fats.

Further you fatty liver is due to your fruits consumption (if alcohol is not culprit).

Once your body gets sufficient carbs..and then you fill your body with fructose ...liver tends to convert it in form of fats.. which is harmful.

Reduce carbs and fruits and look how TG will fall.

"Food is not for recreation. It's for living. "

Perfectly said Anup.

[suramo Star]

@Anup

Ghee is fine for cooking. I don't see ghee causing any health problem. Or does ghee have any adverse effect on D ?

[cure Administrator in reply to suramo]

@anup any comments on mustard oil and Ghee???

as you know I use lots of ghee and butter.

Also mustard oil in form of pickle...some times in lunch I consume about 2 tea spoons of mustard oil.

My cholesterol is normal...

never used olive oil in my entire life...yeah coconut oil for fish frying...

[suramo Star in reply to cure]

cure

Evoo was considered the best oil on the earth even for cooking until the properties of co and vco got approved. Evoo is a good source of omega 3 so essential for brain.

I think i have already talked about mustard oil. I too am using it in my pickles.

[cure Administrator in reply to suramo]

There are few for and against write ups on net about olive oil...

Some says olive oil is not good for Indian cooking...as it is extensive high flame cooking...

However celebrity chef Sanjeev kapoor says it is good even for Indian cooking...

[suramo Star in reply to cure]

cure

Kya bade bhaiya ! Sanjeev kapoor is a paid chef. He may speak anything

Well there are broadly two types of oils - be it olive, mustard or til. 1) rbd. Can be used for cooking but chemically treated. Should be thrown in garbage.

2) kachhi ghani. Natural. The general rule as i said is any mufa pufa not for cooking. Evoo pufa. Can't be used for cooking. Not only loses its properties but also becomes rancid producing toxic substances which are potentially carcinogenic. Ye jo subah se sham ek hi oil and taavade mein pakode talte hai that oil and custom is very harmful and a criminal act.

[cure Administrator in reply to suramo]

Bhai

suramo harmful....yes...but tasty....Raipur darwaze ke bhajiya toh khaye hi honge apne kabhi...

[suramo Star in reply to cure]

cure

Yes. Bhajiya at raipur darwaja. But i rarely eat such food. Yes. Tasted but frankly didn't like much. It's has earned name from kaamdars /workers of nearby mills in olden times. Not so hygenic - not now nor ever before.

Even chandravillas lodge ke fafada and jalebi on gandhi road. Very famous but so unhygenic that i returned from it without eating.

But one or two items i'd recommend are nonveg kabab and samosa of famous at mirzapur near laldarwaja. Though i'm veg i tasted the items when i was in college way back in 80s. And lucky tea and maska bun at laldarwaja a short distance from famous. 😜😜😜😜

[Hidden in reply to suramo]

I would never niss that Lucky tea & bun maska when i was in Ahmedabad & nearby

Also Raipur Bajia...

[Hidden]

For omega 3 it's fish oil, ghee , flax seed etc

[suramo Star]

Hidden

Nope. Bad 6/3 ratio. In addition to what Hidden says omega 3 in evoo. No to pomace oo. It's rbd perhaps.

[suramo Star]

@Anup

I don't think dave bashes co. But well forget him. Grass fed butter is also as good as vco / co for cooking. It's a question of taste and practice.

[suramo Star]

Hidden

Pomace is olive oil extracted with the help of solvent.

Rbd / refined bleached and deodorised.

Oils are rbdised to remove smell etc and make them suitable for cooking. Rbd oils have high smoke points but they are not good for health
