Calories, Fat, Carbs, Oh My!



Recommended Posts

Unfortunately the vast majority of nutritionists and doctors are incorrect when it comes to fat and carbohydrates. I have a blog post about this as well' date=' but Carbs are to be avoided entirely unless you're training for some kind of marathon or sporting event where you will burn the carbs off.

Most people don't, so their bodies take the carbs and turn it into sugar, which is how we all got into this situation in the first place.

I wholeheartedly, and to the point of fanatical prejudice disagree with the <5 gram of fat per serving. This is nutritional suicide

I'm sorry, but that NUT is wrong. Flat out, deadly, wrong

Best of all, they'll tell you they're certified so what they're saying is gospel, and since I don't have a degree or certification, that I'm the one that is incorrect.

I'd love to see the NUT tell me why my blood panels are so perfect when I consume a high protein/moderate fat diet (and I didn't get that way with consuming fat in <5 grams per serving)

PLEASE be careful who you talk to. This information is killing us all - research everything, leave nothing to chance - Fat is NOT the concern here, the carbs/sugars ARE. Ever notice how NUTs are telling people to do low fat / high or moderate carbs and why the vast majority of those folks are still not losing weight?

Do the research! Don't do everything "they" tell you to do. I'm not a conspiracist, but I DO have an issue with false information that is so gravely incorrect for a wide swath of people.[/quote']

I keep it simple. As much Protein as I can. At least 1 gram protein per 10 calories. Split the remainder evenly between carbs and fat. No starches. Works well for me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
