I had my gallbladder removed about about 3 years ago. Right after surgery I couldn't eat much except for bland foods which is expected. After some time I found out I could eat normal foods without any problems. I did end up gaining weight. It had nothing to do with the surgery though, it had more to do with the fact that I…

I only mentioned Pop Tarts on this thread because that is what I ate for the month of December along with microwavable meals. Stayed within my calories, but always felt hungry. That is all.

LOL... I never claimed to be a purist and I definitely don't ride hard under the banner of "clean" eating, that is the conclusion and assumption YOU came up with, not me. You know...you do a hell of a lot of assuming and filling in the blanks instead of pausing and not jumping quickly to a conclusion without all the facts…

I can relate. I definitely have trigger foods that I can in no way moderate. I do best by avoiding certain stuff entirely. Also there is something about having an open package of something that I can't resist finishing. It's like I can never leave anything unfinished...weird. Whether that be a package of cookies or chips.…

Oh and I think you mentioned some people viewing frozen vegetables and fruits as less than the fresh. They flash freeze vegetables and fruits after they are fully ripened which locks the vegetables in a nutrient rich state. Some water-soluble nutrients like vitamin C and B break down or leach out from blanching them in hot…

Eating "clean" from what I understand or choose to believe is about eating whole foods that are unprocessed or minimally processed. Therefore it lessens the added junk such as excessive salt, fillers like soy and corn, and added chemicals that they add into food such as MSG, preservatives, and other chemical junk etc. So…

It's basically calories in calories out and everything tolerable in moderation. If you happen to have a stomach of steel when it comes to food, then you're golden. There are all kinds methods and ways of eating claiming to be the "optimal" diet. That is how they sell books and make money. It really goes back to your basic…

Wow you are taking this way too seriously. I am by no means one of those militant people on "clean" foods. I was referencing me with the pop tarts and microwavable food which I have lived off of for years and years, the unhealthy meals until they cut gallbladder out. I primarily ate junk pure junk. So me switching things…

I feel fuller and can it more food by eating "clean". That to me is eating whole foods like whole grains, veggies, fruit etc. basically unprocessed food. I do buy store bought hummus. I'm not all militant about it, but I feel better and am full so I am not craving junk food. I guess I could eat pop tarts and microwave…

I find that I can tolerate healthy whole grains like quinoa, millet, amaranth, and gluten free oatmeal. Those are easy on the stomach, bland to not irritate, and keeps you fuller a lot long than the super quick digesting stuff like pasta, rice, and bread. I usually add a table spoon of almond butter or two tablespoons of…

What I do is I get the Garden Lites Chocolate flavor veggie muffin. I save them for that time of the month and I have one with a meal and eat it slowly. It satisfies the chocolate craving and since I eat it at the end of a meal, I am full. It's in the freezer section at the grocery store in the area with the organic…
