  • My go to breakfast when working in the office is overnight oats which are really quick to throw together the night before. When working at home I usually have eggs and veggies. Other ideas are boiled eggs, yogurt or cottage cheese and fruit, cereal and milk. I have a friend who used to have a tortilla with peanut butter…

  • I think it helps those who are night time snackers to have a cut-off time for eating.

  • I've been doing IF 8:16 for a few years now. I haven't personally noticed that it has helped me lose any weight. I lose weight when I'm restricting and watching calories. I continue to IF because that is my natural eating pattern. At the beginning of Covid-19 I gained about 8lbs while still doing IF. We ordered in a lot…

  • Glad to hear your appointment went well and you feel supported to find a way of eating to continue losing weight and help with your diverticulosis. That's so important. Please don't feel shame. You can't help having a medical condition and this is a common one in the western world. I read that something like 35% of the…

  • I've never heard this before and I've done a lot of research. There are lots of sites on the internet that state seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower or nuts are the problem. The theory is that these little items would get stuck and cause the infection. However, the specialist I saw said the that in recent years studies have…

  • I was diagnosed with diverticulosis a few years ago during a hospital stay due to a diverticulitis flare up. The best advice I received was from a nurse who told me the best line of defense is to get enough fibre daily. She recommended eating All-Bran or Fibre 1 cereal (sticks, not buds or flakes) which have 12 - 15g of…
