No fat recipes?

Impossible and dangerous......Find a better health care who ever person.

He might be on what is colloquially known as the Bill Clinton diet. Extreme vegan diet, and, if we're talking about the same thing, yes, it is very unforgiving. But it seems to be helpful for people flirting with serious health issues. A friend of mine (no really, I do have this friend...) had a terrible time with statins, and went on it with a vengeance. He lost 40+ pounds and dropped his lipid counts through the floor. A popularizer of this diet is Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. I don't have the time and energy to follow this diet strictly, but I do use the recipes in Esselstyn's book a great deal. They're healthful and delicious. (And I'm not a compensated endorser. :-)

He can't eat any fat, and he can't eat any greens? That doesn't leave a lot of options. He can eat fruit, basically,

According to his Doctor.......get another opinion and sorry you don't like advice that doesn't corroborate with your thinking.

ok very very low fat recipe ideas?? That's all I need, I don't need critiquing. I'm studying to be a nurse so please do not assume that I'm an idiot. It is not appreciated.

No-one assumed you were an idiot, they were trying to give you advice.

I'm sorry, but you come on here asking for a no fat diet (virtually impossible as it is) for someone that can't eat greens (the majority of any greens has vitamin k in it - google it) and then you say he doesn't eat healthy food - how do you expect us to help with that? It's impossible.

You are/were very defensive from the start and you do not seem open to many suggestions or thoughts that people on this site have to offer. No one called you an idiot, either. However, if you were looking for recipes, post your question somewhere else, like in the recipe message boards, instead of giving out your personal information. Just simply ask the question that would meet your needs/goals.

You would probablly be better off getting some type of meal ideas and food groups from his physician or asking for a referral to a dietitian in regards to his needs, not on a public forum.

Listen, I'm not an idiot! His DOCTOR put him on this diet probably because there's too much fat for his liver. His whole digestive system is in bad condition. He's also diabetic. If you're going to critique, go away. I honestly don't want to hear it.

And for the record, f you "don't want to hear it", why would you ask the question? Do you want to hear the truth, or what you want to hear? Is this a common thread in your relationships, if so, I feel sorry for the people around you.

ALL I ASKED FOR WERE RECIPE IDEAS!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry if that was too difficult for you to understand.

High fruit is high sugar regardless of the benefits of fruit. Somebody that's diabetic and obese should not be on a diet with such littler protein, let alone little to no fat and that many carb, well over 90%, your a nurse, you don't see the problem here.

And maybe you should go eat a carbohydrate to help with your mood and all of this "yelling" you are doing!

???

So in response to your repeated request for recipes, the answer is that they don't really exist. I could give you a hundred recipes that contain anywahere from 3-10 grams of fat per serving, but I guess yoo're not looking for those.

LISTEN TO ME, I'M NOT ASKING FOR ADVICE, I'M ASKING FOR RECIPE IDEAS!!!!

There is no need to yell. If you can't take the advice then don't post a question that is pretty much impossible to answer.

Recipes should be asked for on the recipe board. This is food and nutrition. That is why you are getting food and nutrition advice.

WOW.. Does one not get more flies with honey

Items I can think of that he could incorporate into his diet are as follows:

Plain 0% Greek Yogurt (all others will be high in sugars)
Non-Green Veggies (Califlower, Eggplant, Squash etc), raw or steamed
Low Gylcemic Fruits
Low Sodium Chicken Broth
Skim Milk
Fat Free Cheese (nasty, but fat free)


All Lean Protein (chicken, shrimp, fish, etc) will have SOME fat in them, but the lowest being shrimp and tilapia, baked with no fat.


I realize these aren't recipes, but eating NO fat, it's pretty much impossible to put together "recipes". I'd say 99% of healthy things to eat have some fat in them.

Google the 80/10/10 diet.

She wants recipes, Rock!!! She doesn't have time for google!!!

Oops. I just advised google. *smh* Oh well...it's the only advice there really is.

That's because fat is not evil and you need it for basic functions to live. This is why the diet is suspect and why the OP is being told to have her father either get a second opinion or have him get a referral to a dietitian who understands his needs, can work around them, and give him ideas.

At any rate, it sounds like her dad has no interest in following a diet anyway.
