Olive Oil

What do u think about olive oil ? i really like chopping my sweet potatoes up and glazing them with olive oil then in the oven for a while, tastes so gooD! Is tooo much olive oil bad for you ? fattening ?

Nope its not bad for u but to much is how much exactly? Maybe in 2 or 3 meals is fine.

heating olive oil is where the problem is it de natures.. get hold of some mac nut oil if u are going to cook with it,its awesome... bigw to much of everything is fatening... u can eat to much brown rice and get fat...same with good fats...1 table spoon added to your meals after cooking is best..as long as it ties in with your macro's for the day

:laugh: I do the same, 'cept I fry them after the cooking for a few seconds with a bit of aspartame and oil :blush:

I also stick the sweet potatoes in the oven with a little olive oil over them, love them like that.

I cook for the whole family so I have to ensure that the food tastes good or else my kids give the the stare of death !!!

Cool shot!


Snok: not too much bud - maybe a couple of tablespoons in the evening if i am making them that way. otherwise a little over my avo with balsamic

Dj : where can I get this mac oil u speak of ?

Inja : Aspartame ? are you being sarcastic - that shit is bad for u! Why would u use that ? isn't it a preservative ?

aspartame is usually found in sweeteners so he's obviously using it as an alternative to sugar to limit short sugars in his diet

Ja well just be careful because I hear aspartame is one of the causes of cancer. I try avoid everything with it in.

Unfortunately many things are carcinogenic, including aspartame so yes we must be careful to a certain extent, and if possible avoid such carcinogens

Thanks bud, ill find it here no probs!

Dischem sells it and seen it in spar and some pnp also alot of health shops - agree with dj: the smoke point of mac nut oil is about 410 where as EVOO is I think just over 300 and mac oil tastes good in shakes too!
