If you want to keep low carb, you want to be getting your carbs from veggies. Keep fruit to 1-2 portions a day - berries are best for lower carbs, I like my fruit, so I have berries in the morning. As skinnylion said, dairy has sugar/carbs because of the lactose (which is a sugar). If you're veggie, nuts, tofu and whey…

Coeliac, therefore totally gluten free.

You could try building in a diet break week, or a day per week where you eat at maintenance and the rest at your cut level? I found when I was doing heavy training (have had to stop at the moment due to illness) I would suddenly crash and burn and then feel a whole lot better if I ate more for a few days and rested, so it…

I can tolerate small amounts of mashed or pureed beans which have been very well cooked, so something like home made hummus is ok in small quantities and I love mushy peas,…

:noway: that's just crazy. Why risk it? By the time you have the gut damage, you already will have health problems, maybe vitamin deficiencies. I had anemia and low B12 at diagnosis. I was always tired, overweight and irritable. It increases your risk of lymphoma if you are coeliac and carry on eating gluten as well. Many…

@Amy - I've got Crohns too. I have a stricture, and as such, a lot of starchy, bulky foods are bad news for me. Things just, um, stop working. I am also coeliac and as such, gluten free. I find I am a hell of a lot better if I am on a very low grain diet, and it is definitely possible to get all your carbs from fruit and…
