The doc said maybe dairy, but I then cut out dairy and still had symptoms. I'm not one to go to the doctor often, so probably the next time I go (which probably won't be for a while..) I'll mention it, but for now I'm just dealing with it. My plan for now is to eat less gluten and less dairy than I usually do, because it's…

The Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series.. cracks me up :)

I tend to agree with you, however.. My diet consists of mostly veggies and other very low-cal foods (I'm pescetarian and gluten free, and recently cut out baked goods and other vicious goodies that were OK on a pescetarian diet but were high-cal). I eat three very filling meals a day and I do eat snacks. Sometimes my diary…

I have celiac that wasn't cured by just going gluten free.. then I cut out dairy but still had problems. I eventually became a pescetarian (vegetarian + fish), and cut out all dairy and eggs as well. Now I seem to be functioning properly! It was really trial and error to see what I could process and what I couldn't. I wish…

I am also single and live alone with one child who is a very picky eater, so I buy what I know I like and is good for me, and what I know she will eat, and the big factor is what I know I can afford. Also, same as you, I buy a pack of something and it's perishable, so I eat one of the pack every day until it's gone.

Thanks, all. I'm going to revisit the things I'm eating. I would love to be eating whole foods only, anyway, and I think I might make that my goal. Also going to check into the hair and body products as well..

I'm at 209 so I don't have far to go yet, but I'd love to join you! I've dreamed about Onederland for a long time!! Let's cheer each other on!!

thanks everyone! my diaries are almost always 100% gluten free with very little cheats here and there. i try to keep it clean! thanks for the adds.

thanks! i'll add you as a friend!

Last night I had Shrimp and Mixed Vegetables, it was only 150 calories per cup. Also white rice, that added 200 calories per cup but for only 350 total I didn't think it was bad. I had some duck sauce too, but use that sparingly.

Thanks for all the help. I think I'll go buy a real scale!

Hi Helen, I'm celiac and follow my gluten free diet faithfully. Friend me if you like! I've only been using MFP for a week but I lost 7.2 pounds this week!

I don't know about the rest of you - but I think the biggest myth about gluten free eating is that it can be used as a weight loss diet by itself. Just because it's gluten free doesn't mean it's a "diet" food. In fact, many gluten free things are made with more sugar in order to make them more tasty (I wish I had my source…

I eat gluten free because I have celiac disease. It was really hard to start because I was buying all the pre-packaged gluten free stuff off the shelf. Not only is that expensive, but a lot of it doesn't taste very good either. What I've learned to do is use as much fresh food as possible and cook as often as I can, lots…
