    I used to snack on sugary based foods during the day. A biscuit for example. But Energy levels tended to spike and hunger feelings amplified.

    Recently been trying to cut out all processed sugars from my diet. Sweet food items are only fruits or dried fruits.

    Instead I've been eating lard - using it as filling for omelettes, adding it to cooked lentils/rice etc.

    Also switched to water biscuits or oat thins sandwiched with lard for work day snack. Result, even energy levels throughout the day, no hungry feelings.

    My grandmother's neighbour lived to be 97 and was in perfect health, used to eat a lard sandwiches everyday. I used to think lard was gross... maybe it's Portuguese lard, which has a slight BBQ smokey flavour, getting quite addicted to it. Everything tastes better with a good chunk of lard in it.

    • Enjoy it whilst you can - decent lard's hard to come by back in Blighty. I really miss manteca colora - it's one of the few things I still bring back from Spaindetritus
    • something with how the word sounds -- "lard" -- which throws me offdrgs
    • I threw up a little when I read "lard sandwich".section_014
    • When I was a kid I found the idea absolutely disgusting - esp. watching old Spanish men in bars wolf that shit down.

    • It's quite seasoned in Iberia - not just plain rendered fat. Think of it like 'essence of the most delicious thing ever cooked'.detritus

    • Yep, deeelish! My folks are in Mallorca now - I've asked them to bring back some sobrasada for me to collect from their place in a month or so. Can't wait.detritus
    • Mind you - I had some Polish lard a couple of years back and it made me feel sick as a dog all evening. Not so deeelish.detritus
    • Beef drippings and lard, chicken fat too. Best fats/oils for you. For 1000's of year humans have got fat in their diet from animals and fish.shapesalad
    • Then it was olive oil, good fresh, not so good heated up. Only in modern times are we having crap like margarine and veg oil. No thanks to that.shapesalad
    • I've started using rapeseed oil for high temp cooking this year. Watched a 'how it's made' on Canola Oil last night and... yeah. Really not sure about that shitdetritus
    • Lard best for high temp, really high smoke point.shapesalad
    • yeah. but it stinks the kitchen out. I'm banned from using dripping and lard for frying in my house.. flol.detritus
