I've tried it once or twice and as mentioned already, I'm never happy with the veg choice. If it's pre-packed veg it always has the use by date of the next day and the hand picked stuff isn't what I'd choose. I think if you can shop for the veggies/fruit yourself from a local grocery, if you have one, and buy store…

we're already friends, but i too would like to find more GF friends... I'll be adding friends in a bit, hope nobody's offended x

CraftyGirl4, I think you must know me!! I tried the GF muesli twice and had stomach ache both times, so don't think I'll have any more GF oats. I can eat yoghurt, well it doesn't affect me in the same way as other dairy products do - i.e. hot flushes and emergency toilet breaks! Your explanation makes a lot of sense.…

sodonne4, thank you so much! i thought I was going mad, but it sounds like my cravings are completely normal. i've never wanted a sandwich so much in all my life! (I was never keen on bread, now i know why!) that brownie recipe sounds simply gorgeous, I'll be making that over the weekend... I'll see how it goes down at the…

Hi, I'm happy to make friends with anybody who is gluten free. I think it'll help to see what other people are eating and to improve our range of food/diet. Please feel free to add me. CherryVee x

That's great thank you! It's amazing the choices we have now, must've been hard for people like your sister. 30-odd years ago it was almost unheard of. I have the bisto best gravy, but thought I couldn't eat it so was going to give it to my mate... just checked the ingredients and it IS gluten-free hoorah! Just bought some…

Thanks Ash, that's really helpful. I'll have a look into the shakes...

Thanks for this suggestion... what are we talking about when we say high protein snacks? All I can think of is chicken and cheese lol - I can't eat too much cheese as it gives my hot flushes!!

I mainly eat products that are naturally gluten-free, that was the plan anyway until I felt so hungry and snacked on gluten-free biscuits! So potatoes, rice and rice based products (rice noodles/potato wedges etc) There is a great website that tells you whether a not a popular product is gluten-free:…

bumping i understand how this works and yes, you should still log ALL foods down to keep track of your intake. But the energy needed to break down some foods is greater then the actual calorie content of the food - makes sense to me! Also, has this bear any relation to the GI levels in foods?? I'm not entirely sure what it…

Bumping for later - I need to eat more fish and LOVE salmon. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes and ideas :) xxx

Thanks Tonya, that's really good to know and explains a lot :glasses:

I don't tend to eat before a morning workout either and like you I feel like I'm starving hungry about half way through, or at least by the end. I usually make sure I drink a large glass of water before the workout, you could be mistaking hunger for thirst? Also, as you've probably not eaten since the previous evening's…
