My skin is soooooo dry since being banded. I know it is because I eat virtually no fat anymore. I bought this stuff that I really like but I don't like what is in it. It is Dipping Oil, Mediterranean Garlic flavor.

I love the stuff but when I look in the ingredients it has various oils in there, not just olive oil.

If I were to get olive oil and put spices in there to make this stuff myself, what spices would I put in there and would plain olive oil work?

I was going to use it with my veggie chips in effort to get something in my diet for my skin.

Thoughts?

EVOO=Extra Virgin Olive Oil LOL sorry

I figured it was something everyone but me knew what it was!

You do need fat in your diet - I try to stay away from saturated fat but overall I dont really eat a particularly low fat diet, not huge fats either but I definitely dont shy away from avocado, olive oil (things like pesto and dips), olive oil based spreads, and I do eat quite a lot of salmon, which is a good oily fish. I also take fish oil because its just a good supplement for almost everybody to take.

You really need to good fats to balance out the saturated fats you eat as well if you eat meat and cheese and the like. And it does make a difference to your skin and hair.

I notice it REALLY helps my son to have plenty of Omega fats in his diet, his asthma is way more controlled when the inflammation in his body is kept under control. He takes spoonfulls of flax seed oil a day and I often do too.

You know, I really hadn't thought about it much until I noticed my skin starting to get really dry. And my hair. I started thinking about it and realized what the problem likely is, oil/fat.

I hardly have any fat in my diet at all. I don't eat meat but I do eat tuna. The only cheese is what I recently started buying and that is parmesan cheese crackers. That's it for fat in my diet. I don't like most dairy products, I don't eat dead animals much unless it is tuna, thus... the dipping oil.

I'm going to buy some stuff from the link above. It sure sounds more workable than if I tried to make the stuff. I'm just dangerous in a kitchen.

Sheesh.... you'd think the fat on my body would suffice!

EVVO is extra virgin olive oil
