    You need to make sure the meat is below 5g of fat per 100g so really lean! Else you will have oil. If you do it properly and follow the fat rule. Nothing over 5g of fat per 100g and no more than 15g per meal you won't get it. Good luck

    Really! Did his start straight away? In on my 6th day so far and no oil nor any change in bowel movement yet! Should I expect this to happen eventually and how bad is it I did read some people leak it without even attempting to go to the toilet

    Suzy the info sheet says no more than 30g of fat a day, no more than 15g in anyone meal. i eat steak lean, chicken, ham, beef. but only once a day etc.

    i had oily accidents and i relooked up more about low fat foods etc and since doing that i have had no more oily happenings.
