Lactose is nothing more than sugar, nuts are simply tree seeds ... Everyone tolerates things differently.

The Celiac Association recognizes gluten sensitivity as real. When you have Celiac, your body can have intestine damage and/or produce antibodies to gluten. Gluten Sensitivity is recognized as having symptoms when eating gluten, without the damage or antibodies being present. Aside from gluten sensitivity, my understanding…

To answer the OP's question - there are lots and lots of foods that are naturally gluten-free. I have found it's better to just focus on those than try to replace gluten foods with gluten-free packaged foods. They're all overpriced, starchy, and don't taste the greatest. My daughter is gluten free. No, she doesn't have a…

Add butter to your cooked vegetables, snack on nuts, drink more milk (increase the fat content of whatever milk you are drinking), put (more) cream in your coffee, top your salad with nuts ...

I am a carb-lover, and would easily skimp on the protein to have more calories for carbs. Which isn't the best balance :) I find eating more meat at…

Just my thoughts ... I was an overweight child (no thyroid problems). My mom tried everything - from diets, to getting only healthy foods in the house, to doing Weight Watchers with me, to joining a gym together, to making me exercise, to regular weigh-ins. Nothing worked. Mainly because it felt forced on me, I didn't want…

my favourite chicken recipe is to take a whole chicken, stuff it full of garlic cloves (will be a lot, the original recipe says 40), then cook on low all day. The chicken ends up with a mild garlic flavour and is delicious.

on one hand I totally get where you're coming from - it's a trend, people think gluten free will help them lose weight. We have a number of gluten free products in our home. My daughter was sick for a while with a lot of pain and digestive problems. She does not test positive for celiac. Upon going gluten-free (at the…
