Question:
Avocados

I was never a big eater of Avocados, but I just back from a week's vacation in Arizona, visiting my Tatoo artist, and she fed me Avocados on EVERYTHING! So good. And not just that, when I got home, I weighed myself and had lost 10lbs. in 6 days! My surgery was on 11/2/05 and my surgeon told me not to expect 10lbs. this month, much less in a week. I was wondering if anyone else has any info on Avocados and how they may be absorbed by our stomach (vitamins, minerals, fats, etc...)    — col381 (posted on February 1, 2006)

I'm not sure about how they are absorbed or their relevance to your particular diet, but I found this website you may find useful. Enjoy! http://www.dapguacamole.com/nutritio.htm

WOW !!! great job losing.... Share the amount a day and the kind you ate with us and also ....and yes you will lose right along... be so ever cautious of your foods you eat... but the weight will fall off right at 10 a month ...or atleast mine did.. Thanks Flo

Avacados are a healthy fat, actually, and since we malabsorb fats and oils, to a degree, I'm wondering if your body was thirsty for that type of oil.
