Gall bladder low fat diet

What incredibly selfish comments.

If the OP is like me she does the main cooking and her husband/partner maintains the car and does the heavy garden work.

It's quite a typical scenario and regime amongst my friends and family who are in stable long-term loving relationships.

When I was diagnosed Rosemary Connelly diet books were all the rage . She made the diet for heart problems I think but it’s very low fat so is good for gall bladder disease.
I still had most foods but if I had chips they were oven chips as they are usually low fat . I also cooked with five per cent fat mince . Milk is fine , even full fat milk cos that is 4 per cent fat . I read the details on everything I bought and stuck to it . The side effect is that I lost a lot of weight and felt a lot better .

I found that it made my skin and nails were very dry. And I remember having to use salad cream instead of butter or mayonnaise. And there was a low fat curry I used to cook. I must dig the book out.

You can now buy sausages made of chicken or lamb, which will be much lower in fat content that pork or beef ones. You should be able to find them in any supermarket, but failing that the nearest Hallal butcher will propably make his own.

Grilled with no or very little cooking oil instead of fried will also lower the fat content of the meal.

Not to be eaten every day, but once in a while they probably will do no harm.

Frozen chips can be done in the oven rather than deep fried.

No one who has had a painful attack of gall stones will willingly risk another one, so your husband if he realises that a new attack will be the consequence of not adopting the new diet may well be more amenable to more vegetables and less meat - the price of fish these days rather rules it out as an alternative, and of course you ought to avoid fatter fish like herrings and salmon.

I knew exactly what my gall bladder objected to - any baked goods with fat and sugar - and avoided that.

I could eat everything else in moderation.

I do my homemade chips/sweet potato chips in an air fryer with a bit of Frylight instead of oil. They are fine. My husband does his lean bacon and chicken sausages in the same way. I tend to use lean pork mince with a grated courgette combined with an egg, stock cube and dried onion mince for my sausages.
There are so many things you can do in the air fryer which are low fat.
