I have no words of wisdom but, just my deepest caring and I am sorry for your pain. I lost my mom 8 months after my husband lost his. Just know many of us have been there and care.

not all peppers are from the nightshade family only bell peppers. Get Kimchi that is in the refrigerator section or at the Asian market. Kimchi by its very nature has peppers in it

A baked chicken thigh, baked sweet potato and broccoli with a touch of butter on the potato

Chicken Pasta Cheese cucumbers

love Kimchi and make kimchi fried rice. So good, fermented foods are very good for you. It was one of the reasons that many Korean doctors think SARS did not affect Korea

what does your dad eat? What do you want to eat? I eat healthy and never eat salad, I can't digest it, but there are ways to cook healthier that is still cheep.

By the very fact you are posting is asking for comments. While be a vegan can be a good thing, what the others are saying is right. You can't lose that much weight on any diet and gain muscle mass. That is a fact Jack!

This is going to be a very silly question... I'm just looking at Indian recipes as a possibility for my experiment in a plant based diet (read vegan). The Indian curry powder is different than the McCormick's "Curry Powder" that I can get at my grocer, correct? Thank you @Shalini0072016 for this thread. I'm definitely…

You could try Penzeys.com I love Penzeys spices

the weight gain from medication is complex and sometimes it is not CICO. The immune suppressants I was on for 3 years affected my ability to lose weight weight a year of being off them I have lost over 30 lbs. I am do it slowly and easily. Somethings are just not so simple.

love to see some. What do you do on the extremely hot days

I tend to lose weight easier in the winter. I hold fluid in the summer and chant get out when it is in the 90's

I do both each has a place. I do like to use local honey for the allergy benefits. Plus the fresh stuff is so good.

mix half and half for a while. Half caffeine and half decafe

Sodium is not a bad thing and it is in fact important to your health. Some people need to reduce their sodium for health reasons. To have no salt added to food is unappetizing and unnecessary.

soft corn tortillas that you cut into wedges and bake in the oven until crisp, it may give you the crunch you want without the food trigger. I love oyster crackers for soups and snacks. Small round and crunchy.

we dry peppers in the fall and lots of apples too EDT to add dried strawberries are the bomb

I do watch my fat intake and could not eat ice cream for about a year after my GB surgery. There is no special diet except to avoid what bothers you. I was happy to lose my GB no more pain after many years.

Such junk science. Breast cancer occurs in the out side of the breast because of that is where the majority of the mik ducts are. The number 2 spot is behind the nipple. Ductal cancer is the most common type of breast cancer. The 3 biggest things that raise your risk (not cause) is obesity, smoking and inactivity. This…

Look at Pinterest or online for mason jar salads. They are easy to make in advance and you can add what hits your fancy. Good luck

for some people it is genetic and all the moderation you can do won't work. I do agree with a fish oil supplement.

I agree you are just beautiful. I think because we see the beauty of your face and are not distracted by hair. That being said you would be beautiful with hair too. Good luck on your journey to health!

no we don't stink but maybe we would not have even if we did not use it either

My husband and I have used Toms for years with no issues.

I have been known to eat a huge bowl of cereal for dinner. I feel so decadent. I leave room for a bit of sweet if I want it daily.

I eat plenty of vegetables as they are low cal and can fill me up. I do it Korean style I make several different kinds and my protein is the same value on the table as the veggies. So I still eat meat but it is not the main dish. I love eating this was. 4 or 5 different dishes some are cooked ahead some are cooked right…

Sounds like you just traded on issue for an other

Tandoori chicken would be excellent, cucumber raita , even a small bit of chapati. A bit of rice is OK too.

Other than gas from the fiber, no

My diet has little to do with my cholesterol but there are other factors that do. I try to control those factors plus add garlic, chilies, oily fish and exercise. That helped a good bit. Watching your weight in general may help too
