one thing i can tell you is fiber absorbs both oils and water. in fact, non-soluble fiber will absorb oils so that they don't get metabolized - i.e., they won't turn in to "calories" - they will only be used as lubricant along with the fiber (bulk) to help with intestinal motility.

i really recommend you try increasing your oil intake and see how things go. use healthy oils, like raw olive oil or nut oils. nothing that has been cooked with. you can cook without oils, and then add the raw oil to the food.

it is much healthier to reduce simple carbs, if you need to compensate for calories, than to eliminate oils. a minimum amount of oils are absolutely essential as i have mentioned before, to a variety of organic systems including cell membrane structure and repair, molecular transport, and intestinal transit.

the other thing is, for a high protein diet, you need a higher fluid intake than for a more balanced diet. i.e. youn need more water. you can have it in the form of light teas if you wish also - green tea is especially beneficial because of its cleansing properties.
