AnnieP Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I think its called "living"! It will only be a temporary blip whilst your body works it through your system. life is too short to diet constantly. Where's the fun in that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazaddress Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Thats not the prblem.. (I dont really diet, i just eat healthy) the problem is... im wheat intollerant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Thats not the prblem.. (I dont really diet, i just eat healthy) the problem is... im wheat intollerant Confused of Banbury here I thought you were on a diet and exercise kick at the moment to lose weight, or have I missed something? If you're wheat intolerant or diagnosed as coeliac (like Mel's Paul) then you need a special diet or you'll be in dreadful pain. But then I guess that you know that anyway, being dietary expert and all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazaddress Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I am on a healthy eating plan ( I have been for a while). I dont count calories, just try and eat healthy, and not to eat junk and the best way I have found to do that is to write out the meal plans (as I am one of these people who heads for the takeaway menu if i think there is nothing in the cupboards). I have always been wheat intollerant, however I became really unwell with it this year, and spent quite a while in hospital having numerous operations (it nearly killed me). I used to be on a really strict eating plan as even a bread crumb would have me doubled over in agony and in bed for a week.. luckily now since my operations, I can cope in very small doses without too much of a reaction, however if I have a bit too much.... whoosh.. im back to feeling like... well not nice! (but not as bad as I used to be). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I think you mentioned weight watchers Kaz, as being the diet you have followed. Just a mention that elimination diets for medically diagnosed disorders are different to 'dieting'. Personally I go for the everything in moderation and a balanced and varied diet, no fads. Moderate exercise without compulsion too. I love to walk daisie, that's my exercise ..lovely! BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 That sounds healthy to me, Buffie! Just bought 10 kiwi fruit for £1.50, yum, and really good source of vitamin c. The girls & I have one with our packed lunches, cut in half then eaten with a teaspoon, saves any peeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 It's nice to eat good food and not think too much about it, isn't it. Our cupboards are a little bare, I have just realised, but a pasta is possible for tonight. I'll have to put a shopping trip in the diary for tomorrow. Kiwi's sound nice Sheila and I have some clementines that might give me the energy to make the final 'push' on the mountain of tidying and ironing Cuppa anyone BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I htink everyone has loads of clementine at this time of year. I've been bringing them into work as we have so many at home (BOGOF deal). Rosie loves them in her packed lunches although I peel them for her as it takes her so long to do it We had tuna steaks in a homemade tomatoey sauce fro lunch, with some organic gooey ginger cake from Stratford market for afters. The builders spotted the cake so I left them what was left. I tend to prefer to eat my main meal at lunchtime - it suits my digestion that way and I don't have the time in the evening. So I cook forthe week at the weekend and re-heat it when I need it. I do the same for Rosie's suppers too. I walk to and from work and school, so I do around 12-13,000 steps a day (not wearing my pedometer any more). Not too bad; could be fitter, but just can't be bothered or find the time. Gonna get fit cleaning up after these builders though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I just know how long it would take her ot peel it - she'd never get to eat anything else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I've been buying easy peel satsumas, for me! Esther may manage clementines, but I can't. Whatever happened to tangerines? Don't see many of those about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaz im very interested in the ops you have had for your wheat intollerance - a team member at work has been a coeliac since birth and is also lactose free too - im sure she would be interested if there was a cure.

kazaddress Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Im afraid there is no cure, I am still intollerant, the only difference is that now the condition no longer threatens my life (apart from the increase risk of bowel cancer, as i continue to eat whear). I would be happy to PM you about the Ops, however not going to talk about it in detail on here.. Im sure you understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi Kaz - thanks and i would be interested if you PM me. I have spoken to my team member at work and she believes once you are diagnosed with Coeliac Disease it can be managed on a gluten free diet and therefore is not life threatening it will be good to hear about how you managed to eat wheat again as she loves a nice bacon butty!

Lesley Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 One of the young lads where I work on Wednesdays has a bit of a weight problem and I've been gently nagging him over the years about eating so much rubbish. All the men there eat non-stop and loads of junk. However, the one with the weight problem has just been diagnosed with mild diabetes and high cholesterol. Oh! how the tables have turned!!!!!!!!! At 2.30 today I announced "I really need some chocolate" - and all my nagging came back to haunt me He even offered me a banana I didn't have any chocolate - not sure if I feel or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Is he a real evangelist now? My friend's OH was diagnosed with diabetes just befroe their wedding (he collapsed) he was the most unhealthy slob you can imagine. He is now into healthy eating, has more or less given up drinking and exercises like mad - he looks and feel so much better now. Probably saved his life. It's sad that some people need that wake-up call I am always nagging Phil; left to his own devices, he will eat utter garbage, skips meals and has far too much sugar and salt in his diet. At least when he's near me, I make sure that he has at least one nutritious meal a day. His Mother is diabetic so you'd think that he'd take notice *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
