There is a reason that DudeIMO is the leading IMO of the entire FE world. Yes - you need the fat. This should be high fat moderate protein, and zero cars for 30 days, then transition to keto, i.e. you may add in non-starch veggies. This does not mean that you should add a pound of butter to your bacon, nor does it mean you should drink the bacon grease. Cook your meat to your desired doneness (though well done beef shouldnever be desired) and eat the meat with all the fat (don't kill yourself trying to gnaw the grizzle - eat what you can actually eat).
No fair!!! He told me it had to be bacon only for 30 days. He must like you better than he likes me.
First, as Josh pointed out, you're in the wrong IMO.
Second, I'm pretty sure I told you that you can sub ribeye or other fatty beef, but that the jump start benefit is in not transitioning to keto until you do 30 days no carb.
As to the rotisserie chicken, I have a friend who ate one of those a day for 30 or 40 days (I can't remember exactly how long but it was around there) and he lost 40 pounds, his triglycerides went from +400 to 105, his good HDL cholesterol went UP and his bad LDL cholesterol went DOWN - eating all the fat and skin that each bird had. I am friends with another lady who had been a vegan for years, her health started suffering greatly after about five years. She now eats only untrimmed rib eye steaks (1 to 2 pounds per day depending on her hunger. She is 5' 6" 120 pounds with abs of steel.
Fat is your friend. The ideal ratio seems to be to get 80% of your calories from fat, 20% or less from protein, and as little carbs as you want. SUGAR is the devil.
