I think I sent blank posts. Sorry. Going no fat is NOT the way to go. Low
fat, fine. No fat, very hard on the body. I used to eat a very low fat
diet and was urged by every dietician I saw to eat more fat. Some fats are
good. I no longer eat low fat cheeses because the body needs the CLA it
contains. Nuts, seeds and olives all contain good fats.

Before I knew of my gastroparesis I ate tons of huge low carb salads. I do
not like dressing. Never have. I would use either a squeeze of lemon juice
or some salsa on them. Beans do contain carbs but a lot of fiber. They are
good for you.
