Gallstones Food Tips: What You Need to Know

Practical Tips of Cutting down Fat

There are some healthy habits that can help impact the amount of fat you consume. Here are some practical tips you can adopt during cooking.

  • Try to avoid processed foods [6] and cook from scratch when possible. This will help you to have control over how much fat goes into your food.
  • Make your own dressings using low-fat yoghurt, lemon/lime juice and herbs.
  • Remove all visible fat and skin from meat and choose leaner cuts of meat.
  • Skim fat off the top of casseroles and stews.
  • Try not to fry food. Bake, steam, boil, grill or roast on a drip tray instead.
  • Bulk out meals with vegetables and pulses. For example, a Bolognese sauce could be made with half the amount of meat by adding kidney beans and mushrooms.
  • Use oil spray when cooking, or wipe off extra oil using a paper towel.
  • Measure your oil when cooking, rather than pouring it. A good measure is about one teaspoon per person.

Conclusion

Gallstone is not life-threatening. In some cases, one might not experience any symptoms. It also appears to be painful so much that it is unbearable. If this happens, it is best that you immediately see your doctor.
