Are avocados still okay to eat? They're quite high in fat but supposedly good fat?

    Hello, you might be best to google how much fat is in one, and find out how many grams of fat per 100g- you cant have any more than 15g fat per meal. I downloaded an app called my fitness pal.. It allows you work out ur fat content and calories... I use it as a rough guide. So your food had to be no more than 5g fat per 100g or no more than 15g of fat per meal... That can include avocados but how much I am not sure- best to work out how much fat is in there xx

    No.... These tablets don't know between good and bad fat. They are 19.5g of fat per 100g and u can't have over 5g. Accidents will happen for defo if u eat one. 💩💩💩

      How long does it take roughly! I ate one avocado and some ryvita tonight and took my tablet, it was in total 21g of fat but haven't had anything yet - I'm still on my first week so don't know what to expect!

      A whole avocado is nearly 30g that's a small one! As 100g is 19.5g of fat.

      Everybody is diff but it can take up to 2 days and your body will reject the fat and orange oil comes out!💩with no warning!! The only good thing u have on yr side is uv only been taking them a wk so might not of kicked in. But if they have god help u. !!!

      GOOD LUCK!

      My friend ruined her car seat in her BMW. On motorway n just poured out of her!!! But until u have a accident u won't realise how bad it is! It's foul smelling orange oil.

      U will prob need a pack of wet wipes too. If u do get side affect u won't do it again as it's so grim and no stopping it!!

    Damn! I thought I could get away with it! Will have to miss a tablet to eat them - the rest of the meal will be healthy with some ryvita, I just love avocados so much!

      Don't work like that. Once they are in yr system takes days before u can eat high fat food. ... Trust me.

      It's up to u but u will regret it as sometimes it's 2 days later n orange oil just pours out of u!!!!
