Hi everyone,

I have just started my diet but I am really struggling to find healthy food that I can eat because I am allergic to fruit and nuts. I can eat oranges, grapefruit and bananas and no nuts. I generally have a healthy diet anyway but would normally snack on biscuits. I have just been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia, which is aggravated by wheat so I have had practically cut out all bread and I now only eat about one slice a week. I am really struggling to eat enough now that I have cut out all the bad (nice) stuff. I would normally have porridge with half a grapefruit for breakfast, a whole can of soup for lunch with carrots sticks and an orange and a balanced dinner with rice, potatoes or pasta with lean meat and veg for dinner but I'm not reaching my target of 1200 calories a day and when I add my daily exercise I'm ending up with 4 to 500 calories left over at the end of the day and the app keeps saying that I'm in starvation mode. I know that I will not lose the 22lb that I want to lose. Does anyone have any ideas of other snacks that I can eat that will not kill me or make me fat (sorry fatter). looking forward to your ideas

    HI!
    Foodwise I am allergic to fresh uncooked apples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries, fennel, carrots, (any fruit you eat skin of) and all tree nuts. Also soy and all forms of ANY dairy.

    There was a post about fruit allergies a few days ago you are not alone.

    I too am allergic to most raw fruits and veggies. I pretty much have to overcook any veggies in order to digest. I also struggle with trying to find a substitute. I can eat Dannon yogurts with fruit and dont have an issue digesting these surprisingly.. I also just take a daily One a Day vitamin.
