Reply To: Question for experienced FT dieters and experts

Hi Jeffo,

My thought is that you need some more fat to supply calories, but you have the problem you mentioned with fats. Have you tried using a digestive enzyme to help with the digestion of fats? I do not know of any specifically, but maybe someone else can chime in here. A Google search may help. I would try adding whatever type of cheese you can tolerate to eggs. I would include small amounts of avocado since it has a high FP in quantity. Cream and butter would certainly add to your calorie count as would olive oil. Can you tolerate gluten? French bread has a low FP, and is great with butter or olive oil. Lactose free (Breyer’s) or soy ice cream (Trader Joe’s has one) would add to your caloric intake.
