There is nothing inherent in eating fat that will cause you to LOSE weight.  If you are not getting enough calories, however, I suppose that adding some fat (and therefore calories) might help get your body out of starvation mode and therefore increase your weight loss. In general, though, eating fat is NOT going to help your weight loss.

What was the reason they cited??

I am a lightweight and I know when I am on a stall that I up my carb intake, but I still keep my calories below 1200.

I believe the person that posted that had DS not RNY. Too much fat could cause someone with RNY to feel ill.
