Re: THE F PROFILE, and Fat Diets...DALE

[Guest guest]

---Thank you! That was very informative and made alot of sense.

Therefore, to me, it makes alot of sense to fight back with the

right balance of foods.

Right now, I'm still having trouble finding the courage to eat

much fat at all.....mostly still on high fiber, steamed veggies and

no fat broths. I did however eat an Easter Egg yesterday! LOL! No

attacks (knock on wood) and it tasted like Heaven!

Thanks for the time you put into this post, it's REALLY appreciated!

Take care!

gallstones formation has a lot to do with what is known as

precipitation of the fats from the bile salts. This happens when the

bile is not able to maintain the fat in an emulsified state.

various brands of soap. The same load of dishes with one brand may

only last for half the wash needed so that you have to reload the

sink to wash more (not to mention you may have to clean off the side

of the sink some of the fat that may have precipitated to it). Where

with a good quality soap the fats will stay emulsified in much

larger amounts of actual fat content.

body fat.

the body, without being reabsorbed in the intestines, which can

reabsorb up to 80% of the bile salts. This is the reason for eating

high fibered foods of the soluble and insoluble types; oatmeal,

peas, rice bran, barley, citrus fruits, beans, strawberries, oat

bran, and apple pulp or sauce, as examples.

discomfort, but no pain, from what I may eat. Now I can eat an awful

lot of foods I had to avoid and some, like cabbage and pecans, are

stimulators of the gallbladder that would cause me discomfort

because of the stimulating effect they would have.
