How do you increase your fat??

Thanks for all the wonderful advice. I bowels are always llose and wondered if adding more fat would firm things up.

No, more fat should make things looser, not firmer. How much calcium and iron are you taking? One reason some of us talk about upping our fat is because the iron and calcium we take tends to constipate us.

Eat avocado and lots of yummy olives :-).

Suggestion for potato substitutes: Rutabaga aka yellow turnip and kohlrabi. Both are very low carb, mild tasting and cook up with a fairly similar texture to potato, especially if fried thin sliced from raw in very hot oil. If you fry them too slowly they'll kind of crumble apart.

They also make a marvelous mashed potato alternative, bring on the butter or cream cheese and other fabulous additives for MORE FAT :-D.
