From the looks of your lipids I'd say you're on the right track. I was typically in the 60s as I recall for the couple of tests I had in the few years prior to going paleo.

Mine is now the highest it's ever been at 51, but I'd like to get it higher. I posted my results on a low fat diet and on a high fat diet here: http://www.imminst.org/forum/My-blood-lipid-results-t33653.html. Richard, what was your HDL like before you started a paleo diet?

Nice also to see that you are not scared of lard as Indian people(many don't eat beef or pork) would be terrified of this idea.

Richard got me into bacon, I am not going to lie….and not regretting it the least bit.

I am an American of Indian heritage (West Bengal specifically),thanks for your great blog, I have started ending my meals with a 1/2 cup to 3/4 of organic coconut milk with a little raw cacao powder and organic cinnamon…

since adding coconut milk/cream into my diet a few days ago, I am losing again, even though I bumped up my calories

I am also using the coconut milk as a sauce for my raw tartares, which are getting tougher to eat ironically… I just himalayan crystal salt, organic turmeric/cumin and just throw it on the raw meat, a lot better

my fav meat for this Prather Farm sirloin tip, we can buy it at the SF Ferry Building – I also use their lard, I am assuming that is the one you use as well

I don't count cals and I don't count grams. But, I know I eat not a lot of carbs, so I'd roughly estimate 60% fat.</p> I really don't know, J. I don't count cals and I don't count grams.

Richard the thing I have to ask, what would you say your caloric consumption is approximately. and how about the protein/fat/carb percentages? I think adding the sauces is a great way to pad up that ratio. I think my ratio of protein fat carb is like 40 50 10, but when I tend to lower my calories its like 50 40 10. Nothing wrong with saturated fat. I mean logically speaking, how could something natural hurt our bodies? </p> Couldn't agree with you more about Indians with lousy body compositions.

I served it over Jasmine rice, and had some bone marrow on sprouted bread as a side. This was super last night and it was great! I have never felt so full and satiated after eating moderate portions (I didn't even have seconds!). </p> You inspired me to buy a can of coconut milk and a packet of Vindaloo (sp?) mix to stir fry with some lamb and carrots.
