Macadamia nuts are the Paleo Keto nut.

Firstly, it is a nut.

Secondly, it lasts a year in dry conditions uncracked.

Thirdly, it contains 72% fat of which about 1/6th is saturated, it's got not a huge amount of protein, and 7% is fibre.

I am starting to suspect that fat digestion is better with a connective tissue or indigestible fibre matrix that slows bile hydrolysis.

And it seems logical to me since 1 mol triglycerides releases 1 mol glycerol, which is laxative, that OMAD may be problematic for laxative effects. 100g of fat means about a teaspoon or two of glycerol with most fats. Unsaturated and shorter chains mean a higher ratio.

Yes, that means medium and long chain fats by the numbers are less laxative.

Oh yes, and all of that, plus the price of £4 for a kilo of unsmoked, unsalted back bacon will deliver a lot of this kind of slow release grease.

I couldn't find pork belly but next month I'm gonna be shopping for it at a proper butcher.

Ah yes, why pork, why macadamias? Thiamine, vitamin B1.i have a severe deficiency and simultaneously, recently severe food allergy induced asthma. Pork doesn't trigger it, and helps with the deficiency.

Having to avoid many types of protein, paleo liberates me from this allergy. I can tolerate refined sugars and starch but they just end up as fat or oxidative radicals from energy metabolism.

So this fresh, partially skin layer meat provides really good fat content.

It requires about 100g a day of fat to replace typical 400g+ starch diets.

The Mac nuts were a great find. This link shows the best seeds for thiamine: https://www.myfooddata.com/articles/thiamin-b1-foods.php

Sunflower, macadamia, and pistachio. I already was pretty fond of these but I now must test. If sunflower proteins don't give me problems I am adding it to my Paleo snack list. Pistachios as a infrequent treat.

I'm getting really excited about finding all of the cheap and good Paleo foods. In my young days I had very oily but spot free skin. It would please me to see a bit of that sheen return.
