Dailey Fat Allowance

[maxcimax 220]

I have not been able to find out what the daily fat allowance should be. I know fat is necessary to some degree but what is the limit? I think I get to much fat. I have all the limits/requirements for calories, carbs, Fiber & Protein. These are the only things I track along with the fat. The only thing my surgeon & NUT told me to watch are calories & protein. The other 3 things I keep track of too. I have found carbs are a big issue. To many carbs & I don't lose weight. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

For the most part they all go hand in hand. If you are getting enough Protein and keeping watch of your calories, the carbs and fat usually stay in acceptable levels.

Most foods that are high in simple carbs will be high in calories. and with fats its something that can be kept track of with common sense. for example, fat in eggs is generally good fat, while fat in bacon is bad.

and you mentioned not losing weight if you eat too many carbs. Many people dont realize it but our post op diet is basically a variation of adkins diet. What helps us lose the weight is our bodies going into ketosis. When you deprive your body of simple carbs it goes into fat eating mode. It takes a few days of low carb intake to achieve ketosis but one good shot of carbs will take you out of it and a few days to get back into it. I think many of our stalls (not all)can be attributed to this.

Thanks so much for the info on fats. I never did the Adkins diet but I have seen on here that our diet is sort of based on Adkins like you said. I will now pay even closer attention to the type of carbs I eat. I try not to go over 50g. Thanks again.
