A lot of people can’t handle that much cream at once. I remember a couple years back when we were having dessert with some people. My fiance started pouring cream on and said “say when”. I just stayed quiet and she called my bluff.

End result, I ended up downing about half a litre of cream in about 3 minutes in front of some very bewildered friends.

It was good. The guy from CSPI would probably want me committed (prison or psych ward, both are equally believable).

Heart attack in a bottle?

“But the ‘heaviness’ of whipping cream is godly. Get some good grass fed Jersey cow cream and it is yellow and full of awesome.”

I hear you, but I was starting to gag at trying to get that much down my throat at one time.

Besides, Coconut milk is 70% sat fat, so I’m getting nearly as much fat.

1/2 cup coconut milk = 28.6g FAT
and medium chain triglycerides (14:0 and 16:0)

Whereas 1/2 cup of Whipped cream = 44g FAT
and longer chain triglycerides (16:0 and 18:0)

Coconut also contains some very beneficial properties (anti-viral and anti-fungal ingredients)

and I like the taste!

Wow. Great job. I have never heard of the program before, but I am definitely interested now! I’ve already been using whey protein powders after I workout, and have been seeing decent results. Would definitely like to work on the “middle aged middle” I’ve gained over the years a little bit more. For anyone interested, the protein powder I have been using I get online at http://bulkfoodsdirect.com. As I said, I’ve gotten results with this product, but it’s been more overall weight loss/muscle gain. Lost about 10 lbs so far and about an inch around the middle. Hopefully your program could help me lost a couple more of those inches.

Sorry for the delay. This one ended up in the spam folder, probably because of the link.

Great news Tom!

Protein Powders… I’ve used Optimum Nutrition’s Chocolate for a long time, over 6 years. In the past, I used it with skim milk until I decided to go low carb last January.

For breakfast, I now take 2 scoops with 1/2 cup of coconut milk, 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1/2 cup of whole milk. And it’s delecious!

I recently added the coconut milk as I’m trying to ‘up’ the saturated fats without the ‘heaviness’ of whipping cream. Before, I was up to 1 1/2 cups every morning and I wasn’t gaining weight.

I’ve been following you for a while and just ordered your DVD, hopefully it will be as insightful as you are!

I appreciate the support for the film.

Would the Atkins Low carb or Slimfast low carb shakes count towards this? One of the two are usually on sale each week at Kroger.

I haven’t checked the nutrient content of those. I get 52 grams of protein in one of my shakes, which probably higher than you’d get from Slimfast shakes.

Awesome Tom. Great progress!

I updated the other day to: http://castlegrok.com/6-week-cure-week-5-update/

Keep up the good work

Very nice results, since I’m guessing you were hardly fat to begin with.

Your wife shops well. Body Fortress, awesome.

It seems to be doing the trick.

Tom,

Do you personally recommend any one type of whey protein or is there a general rule of what type/ingredients you look for?

Cheers

I’ve only tried the one my wife picked up at our local grocery store. It’s called Body Fortress. I just told her to make sure it was low in carbs, and that’s what she found.
