Hi All,
I recently became very confused. Somehow when I started OMS in 2016 and also later read the book, I got the information that we are not supposed to have more than 10g of saturated fat. While browsing the recipes on this website I came across one that called for more than that amount in the whole recipe and posted a question. One of the moderators explained that our limit is 20g a day, and of course no one would eat the whole dish at once anyway.
So my questions is how much saturated fat is our limit: 10g or 20g? It's a big difference, and not limiting myself to 10g would make my diet a bit easier. I follow OMS diet very strictly with plant based food and fish, so normally I don't come near even 10 g, but still it would be nice to have more wiggle room.
My second questions is about bone broth with 0 saturated fat. While I was searching through FAQs today I found an answer to a question about gelatin, which totally confused me: Gelatin is not a problem in relation to MS. While it is an animal product, it contains no saturated fat. However, some people are either allergic to the capsules or have ethical concerns, so they may try to source non-gelatin products, which tend to be more expensive and less widely available". If gelatin is OK, how come bone broth is not? It supposed to be healing for leaky gut but I don't eat it because I thought it wasn't allowed on OMS as an animal product.
Please help me understand these contradicting information.
Thank you kindly,
T.
