The Fats You Don’t Need to Fear, and the Carbs That You Do

How about eating a diet where you don't have to count calories to get to or maintain a healthy weight? Fat is very satiating.

This. I (loosely) follow bulletproof/keto diet and never have to watch how much I eat, without gaining weight. I just eat until I'm full, and if I have some munchies later in the evening, as long as I don't snack anything rich in carbs, I have no problem in keeping a stable weight.

I used to weigh about 100 kilo's, until I changed my diet to LCHF, now I'm about 70. A few months ago, as a test, I switched to Soylent for 2 months, and gained almost 10 kilo's.

I just think a high carb diet is not something that is compatible with an office job.

Maybe for you. I could easily put down 6000 calories worth of peanut butter in one shot, but if I tried that with pasta I probably wouldn't break 4000, and with veggies I probably wouldn't break 1500.

6000 kcal of peanut butter is about 1kg. I'd be tempted to pay to see you do that.

But how much you are able to stuff yourself with isn't the full story without knowing how long it takes you to get hungry again.

How much?

Certainly less than 2 days.

I bodybuild and I'm trying to get contest lean currently. If that wasn't a concern I would certainly have a furious-pete level youtube channel; even among powerlifters and football players I've always been notorious for my appetite.
