Ive been reading obesity books and the conclusion i have is that carbs make you fat and theres no proof that dietary fat causes heart disease. carbs increase your insulin which tells the body to store fat. a diet that is less than 30 grams of carbs daily preferably 20 grams. However, carbs are essential for the body to process Protein correctly otherwise you go into whats called ketosis which is not good at all. I myself follow a low fat low carb lean protein diet. without the excess carbs the body uses the fat to use as energy which is preferable. Listen the food companies are out to make money by creating an epidemic of obese americans. theres too much money involved to correct it and it definitely is political as well. before refined products such as four and sugar like 150 years ago there was no such thing as these current diseases including heart disease and diabetes. for thousands of years people lived off a high fat meaty diet and there was none of these western diet diseases to speak of. Its up to the individual to educate themselves on obesity and the local library has all the books on it for free. the food pyramid is wrong to this current day is tells you your biggest daily intake should be carbs and its killing people.

"back in the day" everyone was outside more... people did more manual labor, kids were outside playing/running...now, we have all become sedentary, sitting behind our computers etc; so that doesn't help our modern day world at all either!

If you're eating a low fat, low carb and lean Protein diet...you are or will be going into ketosis.

      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.
