Triple Treatment and Diet

Hi, I'm a newbie here and am so glad I found this site! You are all so helpful by sharing your experiences.
I start treatment in a couple of days  but am looking forward to getting going and seeing how my body reacts to the drugs.
My question is around diet -
just wondering how I'm going to react:
I have the Type 1 or 1a strain and my genotype is CT
I don't drink or smoke. Am fit and healthy and eat predominantly vege and fruit.
No junk / processed food.
No liver damage.
I'm also wondering how I'm going to get through 60gms of fat per day.
I normally wouldn't eat that much.
I am thinking along the lines of nuts, avocado, salmon, oily salad dressings. Fortisip if I lose my appetite.
I am partial to chocolate though.
I hardly ever eat ice cream but I could force myself if need be.
Thanks in advance!

If you need to eat the 60 grams of fat, then you must be going to take Incivek.

I ate a lot of Greek Gods yogurt. Be sure it is the Greek Gods brand and that it is full fat (not low fat). Read the label. The kind with the most fat is the honey one (not the fruit ones). This yogurt tastes very good, creamy. More like pudding. I practically lived on it because it is easy to prepare and it tastes good and it stays down. And it has a lot of fat. I always ate some whole grain toast or several rye crackers or something else for bulk too.

Avocado, peanut butter, ice cream, bratwurst, liver pate, cream cheese, Cheddar or Havarti Cheese, Brie, and several other food have high fat content. Just read the label.

You need to eat the food and then take the Incivek within 30 minutes AFTER eating the high fat food.

Best of luck.

Maybe you should concider  taking Victrelis instead of  Incivek.
It does not have to be taken with the high fat foods.
