Does anyone know of a good fat free mayo?



Recommended Posts

I am a Hellman's girl but they don't seem to have a fat free. They have a light and an olive oil one but I can't find a fat free. Does anybody know of a good one?

Why are you buying fat free? Instead of fat, they add sugar which increases the carbs. Fat keeps you fuller longer and assuming you are not spooning it in your piehole ( :) ), you probably aren't eating buckets of it.

Eat real food, just eat less of it.

I haven't been able to find fat free but that is what the NUT told me to buy. I will have to compare labels. Thanks for the tip!

Sometimes Nut can pigeon hole you into a category they derived from some book somewhere by some skinny author. I would give alot more credence to the advice you garner from the ones on here with real life experience.

Plus the fat free mayo is really gross. :blink:

The Olive Oil one is actually good. I am a condiment queen - love my mayo. The fat free is gross. If I can't have a small amount of olive oil, or real mayo, or real butter, it's not worth it! All that stuff is so over processed anyway. I did find that the blended mustards (can't remember the name of it but it's like a spicy mustard/mayo blend) are really good and are super low in calories.

This is what I give my Mayonnaise addicted husband now and he likes it. I also use it for tuna salad.

As a diabetic, I do not buy anything that is fat free, they usually have more sugar in them and I do not like the taste. I do use Hellman's lite Mayonnaise, been using it for years and it is good. My nutritionist gave me lists as guidelines and on it is 3 oz. tuna with 2 teaspoons lite mayonnaise. The list she gave me is from the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery center at Brigham & Faulkner Women's Hospital in Boston, MA. Hope this helps.

My nut recommended light Hellmans, which is what we already used, maybe use that and cut with some Greek yogurt? My nut said no fat free anythingn bc it's loaded with sugars, everyhinf in moderation!

My NUT said light or olive/canola oil is acceptable. I like olive oil.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
