Tonight I had a swiss cheese and mushroom pasty, with a salad of feta cheese, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, tomatoes, hemp hearts, green onions, and purple lettuce a third of a cup of EVOO and a dash of balsamic vinegar.
I am trying lol, got to keep the medium chain triglycerides flowing, so a liter a week is recommended for a healthy intake.
I have to ladle it on where I can, I will use a cup full + some when making a curry, which would last 2 days so I am running a bit short on the amount in salads, it also helps slow down the rate the carbs from the pasty pastry, getting absorbed and stops my insulin production spiking after eating carbs.
Yep you should eat 2 to 3 times what is recommended by health Canada. A low salt intake is shown to cause insulin resistance.
Surprised your doc is up on current dietary information unlike health Canada lol. Pink rock salt is best for me, as its higher in trace minerals, if you are going for a high sodium, because you like the taste, use salt that has extra iodine added to it, a lot of people are deficient in iodine, I use both mostly pink rock salt as I take iodine drops in the morning.
When I eat nuts I will put about half a teaspoon on a handful of nuts, in my hand and pinch it up with my fingers and eat it
