No Fat Diets

[Chainsaw13]

The doctor's putting you on a 0 fat diet, or at least as low as you can get? Surprising since the body does need some fat in order to function normally.

Sorry I can't help with any advice as I'm in another boat myself, restricting carbs. So take that away and you can have to increase the other two macro nutrients (protein/fat).

Due to the surgery, all my lymph nodes were removed in my abdomen. Im not sure if those or the tissues they are in is helps processes the fat. I guess it takes some times for the lymph nodes in my legs to step up and start processing the fat. It should not be forever, just while the rest of my body is adjusting to the change.

Awhile back my father (a doctor) told me about a study he read that said 0%, and close to it, diets put people at higher risk for cancer. Even vegans eat a fair amount of fat. It's eaten as nuts, olives, etc.
