[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2162229, member: 475901"] All the evidence is that low fat diets and yoyo dieting are the main factors in developing gallstones. It made sense once I thought about it, as you produce bile and store it to digest fat so swinging between loads of fat then almost none for days/weeks means you produce bile in anticipation of the next fatty meal then have to store that bile for long periods of time. But by then I'd been on a low fat diet for over a year, and lost weight but developed gallstones. Low carb with extra fat might add to pain, etc. after the stones are present, as you'd struggle with fat until the stones are removed, but I don't see why they'd cause the problem. I would avoid any ultra low calorie diet nowadays as none of them are sustainable and they do not retrain you to eat a sensible diet afterwards. Quite how they think that it can be a kickstarter to a new healthier lifestyle I don't know! I've been low carb for 17 months now, and barring any future overwhelming cravings/being silly I think I can maintain this. [/QUOTE]
