Guys just want to be sure that another guy doesn't allow himself to be "P-whipped". ;-)

Too much silliness going on in the media about the "dangers" of animal fat. Subway puts only egg-whites, no yolks, in their new breakfast sandwiches. UK cardiologists getting all kinds of press for recommending statins for everyone eating a "fatty" burger.

I would recommend you stick with your IF as the only thing you will lose is body fat, if you eat sufficient good food when eating. You stated you couldn't eat very much, so figured you might have been filling up on veggies instead of meat.
