Hello,

Is olive oil fattening? Yes, it is. Many people think that certain fats such as olive oil is not fattening. Studies show that monounsaturated fats (olive oil) are fattening. It's important to remember that each gram of fat has nine calories. One tablespoon of olive oil has 14 grams of fat. That equals 126 calories!

Hello,

I think if it is possible you should avoid any kind of oil if you are extremely obese to lose calories and weight. But i should remind you that olive oil like fish oil does not clog the arteries of the heart like butter does. So, it is a good kind of oil. For more information about olive oil please click the link that i included in my previous post.

I have been tryin to lose this extra wt now for 18 years. I have taken diet pills, starved, exercised, but nothing is helping me lose this extra weight. Other than going to Brazil and having my entire body have cosmetic surgury, what can I do? I retain water, I am a diabetic, I have high blood pressure. My doctor is aware of this and all he says is lose the weight. My husband is an alcoholic, who constantly critisizes me. I need help. He is a high school dropout, I have a college education. I dont want a divorce because he is turning yellow which is a sign of jaundice. Help.

Hello,

I suggest to you to see an Endocrinologist about loosing weight. Your doctor can refer you to an Endocrinologist who can help you to manage your weight loss. You are possibly not a good candidate for entire body cosmetic surgery since you are diabetic but you may never know until you talk to a plastic surgeon.

Your husband may need to see a doctor if he is turning yellow for an evaluation. If he is jaundiced , the underlying cause of the jaundice needs to be determined.

What kind of doctor is an endocrinologist??
As for my husband, I personally dont care. This man has belittled me, beaten me, had me taken out of the house and tried to put me in a mental institution. Sorry, but I dont really care if he dies. He is dead to me already. I feel bad for him but did he feel bad when he gave me a bruised face last week, no. I choose to live here. I have told him about his yellow skin but Bob doesnt seem to care. All BoB knows to say is Margie you belong in a mental institution like your mom. My name is Andrea. BoB is a psyco who belongs in a mental ward, not me. A man 55 years old who doesnt know the name of his wife of 34 years. A man who gets pleasure out of punching his wife, calling her worthless, ugly, stupid, retarded, fat like a cow. A man who prefers to have sex with another man is not a husband. BoB is just a sad soul, I feel sorry for him because I am the best thing to happen to him. I would've done anything for this man. Now, I only feel hatred, pity and sorrow for him. For 32 years this man cursed me, beat me, lied to me constantly told me I looked older than his mom. It took me 2 years to accept the fact that he will never change his ways. I'm sorry but if he is turning yellow and doesnt care, their is nothing that I can do but pray for him daily. Someone he will realize that I did love him, but until than I cannot. Let him have sex w/men, let him call me names and hit me. I will never call him names or hit him because as I said earlier I feel only pity for his soul. He missed out on his three children growing up. One cannot bring back the past just go on with the future.
