Do you eat low fat post-op?

low fat diets are becoming very old school. New research shows that healthy fats help us feel satiated and help to burn fat.

Carbs cause us to crave more carbs,and be able to eat more food overall,plus don't keep us full.They are also addicting.

processed carbs and white flour carbs in particular are problematic. Rice,potatoes,oatmeal,pasta,cookies cakes candy,icecream,many protein. Bars etc are not good choices.

You will likely see some of these items on your food plan inthe beginning,but they won't help you with your weight loss.

Thanks everyone! You've given me some great information to consider.

I eat low calorie, low carb, and low fat. I eat much less red meat than I used to. By choice not because I have to not eat it.

I wanted to maximize my weight loss and to maintain that loss. It is working for me.

I limit my fat intake because fat is calorie-dense, and my daily caloric limit is 700. But I use olive oil, butter, and nuts in small amounts to add flavor and nutrition to my lean protein/veg/fruit diet. I don't know if that's considered "low-fat" or not, but my food is tasty, my lab numbers are good, and I'm losing weight.

I watched calories, period. I always got plenty of protein, and for me, everything else didn't matter. I had no need to watch fat or carbs. If my calories were under and I ate protein first, everything else would be ok.
