Does your body adjust to low-fat diets?

We don't cook or bake anything with butter at home. It's never been much of my style of cooking. In the past, I used to bake several times a year with some butter. But last few years, I can't get enough motivation to do that type of baking anymore, beyond focaccia baking.

So now, I notice at a restaurant or party, if I do have the rare dish with a butter sauce or something savoury cooked with a certain amount of butter, I get diahrea.

I definatley notice it. I gave up most dairy (the bulk of my fat consumption) and now notice that if I eat out or something like that and have a higher fat meal my stomach is a wreck.

Red, I'm guessing my partner eats similarly to you which results in alow-fat intake.

Occasionally he craves something with a higher fat contact, and yup, if he partakes too much (which is not a large serving) he feels unwell for a few hours.

Road Raven-yes, how strange is "old age" although I am "only" 40. A spring chicken by some standards. I guess my body is starting to tell me things.

The other day, i finished a cookie bar that I had made from stratch. I had some for lunch and some for dinner. I do not know if it was having both in the same day or what. It used a stick of 65% cooking butter, condensed milk, chocolate chips, walnuts, white chips, and some peppermint chocoloate pieces. In other words, all the good stuff you want when you cook at home. Which includes to much saturated fat. So this AM my gallbladder was telling me it was there. The pain/discomfort went away, which is a good thing. I guess I will have to be more strict with myself on what I really am eating and not to over do it in any way. When your only talking 10-20% of saturated fats!.

Thankyou all,
