I was discharged from hospital today and the dietary advice I have been given for my condition is to stick to low fat food.

I just wanted to ask if anyone has any great quick and easy ideas for me😊

Hi Shouldknowbetter and welcome to the weight loss forum.. I'm sorry to hear that you've been in hospital. I hope you're feeling a little better.

May I suggest that you follow all the links you've been sent in your welcome package It's best to use the website as opposed to the app.

I hope you join the Daily Diary, there's lots of delicious ideas there. When you have decided your “weigh in day”, join one of the weekly weigh ins.

If you are counting calories please run your data through the NHS site, to calculate your BMI and with that obtain your calorie allowance.

Personally I can't help you with a low fat diet, but watch this space, sooner or later someone will be able to help you.

Good luck with your weight loss journey.🍀

Hello Shouldknowbetter1 and welcome

I hope you find the forum helpful. Are you also needing to lose weight? Or is it just low fat recipes you’re looking for?

Can we ask what your condition is? Is the Low Fat diet going to be a permanent thing or is it just to get the condition under control? Are you seeing a dietician?

Sorry for all the questions! I’m not interrogating you I promise, just trying to get the full picture so we can advise you 😊

Gallbladder issues!! It will be coming out eventually!

I need the low fat or no fat equivalent!

I feel your pain. 😩 I went virtually fat free but have managed to re-introduce it after a while. Surgery wasn’t needed in my case

Hope you feel better soon. It’s hard to beat vegetables & salads with lean meat until you get things under control 👍

Have you a liver problem or had your Gallbladder removed? With those two conditions it can be necessary to have a low fat diet. with gallblaader removal it will be necessary for awhile, but not permanently.

if you are just wanting to lose weight, different diets abound!

Cheers, Midori
