Fat grams?

[j16 166]

I'm getting ready to start my liver shrinking diet. I was given instructions to eat a low carb, low fat diet with a max of 20 carbs but wasn't given a max for fat grams. How many grams were you allowed? I want to make sure I'm eating a low fat diet but know I need a little for health reasons.

I wasn't given targets but I can say that when I did "low fat" diet many years ago, my target was no more than 30 grams. Did they give you a Protein goal?

I wasn't told to limit fats on my pre-op diet. Just starches and carbs.

I was not given a specific Protein goal either but had the impression the more the better.

@@j16 - you might want to call and see if they can be more specific. Is yours a liquid diet? I had only 1 week of liquid diet and was told only liquids and try to get at least 60g of Protein but get to 90g if I could. If I had food included during that time, I would definitely had to have some better instructions. Given it was liquids only, the carb and fat weren't relevant for me.

I can have low carb vegetables and meat as long as I stay under the limit. I did email but will have to wait until tomorrow to call due to the holiday. It's my fault for not reading over the directions until the last minute.
