Im the same, gluten and dairy free.. And I make massive use of nuts, peanut butter, soya products and sweet potatoes. Avoiding traditional potatoes because currently the set me off as well but seriously, more protein and healthy fats. All my cravings have gone, I only eat chocolate to fill calories/boredom now. I did try a…

Jeremy Kyle. Just.. ugh.

Yup. Eat clean and lift heavy :) squats are a personal favourite of mine. You don't see much on the scale, at ALL, but people at work keep asking me what diet I'm on and to tell them about my workout regime. And I work with a LOT of catty competitive women.

Heyy don't get like that. Just give yourself time to succeed! I know it sometimes feels like everyone ELSE loses weight and we ourselves don't, can't, it'll never happen to us, but it will. And ignore the friend's journey. She will feel exactly the same as you do about this but about something else, I can guarantee. We all…

I agree that you need to log, and that's not personal - everyone who wants to lose weight does. However, have you been checked for food allergies or intolerances? If you suffer from IBS-like symptoms then you might be intolerant to something or other and thats causing the plateau. That's how it went for me. Two years stuck…

I forgot to add.. Im gluten and lactose intolerant. Which probably doesnt help my predicament! There is a lot of 'filling' stuff that I just can't eat :(

Thank you for all the replies! <3 I started to get a bit panicked that I had to eat so little lol. I will definitely make sure I'm eating back my exercise calories and eating my BMR :)

Yup, s'all about the food scale. And peanut butter! Mmmm...

Hey! Im from Manchester, although I'll be up in sunny kirkcudbright for a week next week! Also doing 30DS, are you seeing results? How's it going? I started dieting when I got diagnosed with celiac's, because the condition had been scuppering my weight loss efforts for years. So now I'm making up for lost time :)

Me :) also lactose intolerant. I have used it as an excuse to eat clean and keep as far away from substitutes as possible, because they are often carb heavy and filled with sugar. Nuts, fruit, veg, fish, meat, homemade sauces.. and sometimes a little soya chocolate :)

I wondered this too! I always go over protein and 'healthy' fats, but am way under on carbs. Hasn't had any negative effect on me, though.

They sure are. I have celiac's disease, lactose intolerance and IBS and after taking probiotics I admit there was a week of dodginess, but now that good gut bacteria levels are restored, I feel fabulous. They're great, although they can cause something of an upset stomach at first, whilst the good bacteria battle the bad…

An apple with a little peanut butter :) does the trick and the protein in the peanut butter fills you up. It must be 'full fat' peanut butter, though, because the 'reduced fat' takes away lots of the monosaturated goodness and replaces it with sugar.

Im new here, and im gluten free too :) and dairy free. Been gf/df as of nearly 3 weeks ago. Its a great excuse to eat clean, and I've found its easiest just to stay away from the free-from aisles in the shops and simply eat naturally gluten free foods. Its also reduced my appetite and cravings, which is a miracle, coz…
