Hi i've read on here about topping up your fat levels with nuts but I can't find the post again and was wondering if any 1 can tell me the fat levels in nuts so I know what I am eating. Don't think I've really got the hang of these tablets, been on them 2 weeks and dont have a lot of 'orange oil' but at the same time dont seem to be getting anywhere fast!
Thanks Jo.
It might have been my nut post which was.......
An easy measurable way of adding very healthy fat is through nuts. I don't normally eat a nut from one year to the next, but following a discusssion with the MAP dietician now keep some in the fridge for an easy top up - remember you have to get to about 30g of fat for the whole Orlistat thing to work properly and you just won't lose weight effectively over the long term with Orlistat if you ignore this and eat less fat.
These portions are all 5g of fat
9 almonds are 55 cals and 5g of fat
5 brazils are 108 cals and 5g of fat
7 hazelnuts are 52 cals and 5 g of fat
6 walnuts are 50 cals and 5g of fat.
If you need to grab more healthy fat at the end of the day to get to your 30g, then 6 almonds + 2 brazil + 5 hazelnuts together give you 9g of fat and about 117 calories.
Thanks RR that great am really struggling to get the fat I need into each meal hence not really loosing any weight.

You can top up with Omega capsules then you are not consuming any more calories as such with extra food, I tried this a few days last week.
