Got Fat On Accutane

I've been eating a lot of fatty food and food in general to make sure the Accutane absorption is high in my body, but I gained 10lbs in 2 months. I was wondering how can one make sure the absorption rate remains high with non-fatty food?

My triglycerides also have gone up and my doctor wants to keep monitoring them just in case.

I have been taking my two 20mg pills separately spread out throughout the day usually with big meals that always contain fat.

I suppose I've overdone it. I guess I'll have to sacrifice the absorption rate for my health and get on a diet.

You can eat good fats like avocado, nuts, healthy oils, etc. You don't need that much fat to aid in absorption. Just don't overdo it because fats do have a lot of calories.
