Help!!!!

[nicola1723]

I'm intolerant to dairy too and having dumped twice on yoghurt just the thought makes me sick

 

[ceecie74]

I'm hoping I haven't developed an intolerance long term, love milk and Greek yoghurt . Will keep trying.

Today I have cinnamon, carrot and potatoe mash to try! .

I'm following this for ideas and to gain knowledge of what I can expect in a few weeks time.
I keep mentioning these sugar free flavour syrups I've seen online. I'm wondering if they will sweeten and add flavour to plain Greek yogs? Might taste good and should mean zero dumping if 0% fat and zero sugar. High dairy though so not good if intolerant!

 

[nicola1723]

I used those syrups on the milk diet but now I find them too sickly sweet as I have no taste for sweet things at all, even if it's just sweetener! Weak Nas squash is the most I can take. It's strange!

I don't know about strange but it sounds like a good thing ;-)

With my band and I think generally I can't cope with rich sweet foods (cakes, chocolates etc) but I do love savoury foods with a hint of sweetness. Sweet chilli dipping sauce, Chinese and Indian food. I often add a teaspoon of sugar in a homemade tomato pasta sauce or a Mexican chilli beef. I hope I lose my sweet tooth. It will be so much easier rather than finding a substitute !!!

Awesome did you make them very milky? My provider said start that from next week so I will try them then also omelette

If yoghurt etc isn't agreeing with you try the lactofree varieties. A lot of people can find themselves intolerant in the early stages. And in all honesty if you're tired either have a nap or lick a cheese triangle or even have a cracker bread with reduced peanut butter. As for crisps not being ideal and not making a habit of it - the longer you can stay away from processed stuff like that the better use you'll make of your golden period.

They are great for drinks and yoghurts

Cracker bread! That's a great idea! Isn't peanut butter too fattening tho?....might try them with cottage cheese....

Thanks Yvessa! X

Yes, be careful, I tried videos peanut butter ones and dumped on it, they may replace the fat with sugar. Cottage cheese might be a safer option, unless someone can recommend a specific peanut butter.

 

[Ines4C]

So sorry, stupid dictation, should have been reduced peanut butter, didn't look it over.

 

[Lilacglittergirl]

Yes lactose free is way to go. I think it is really important to remember too that if (say) you have an Activia 0% fat yog which is approx 14% sugar (ie 14g per 100g) having less of the pot does NOT reduce the %. It is still 14% if you have a teaspoon or a tablespoon. The Muller Light Greek strawberry are 9.2% sugar. The only brands that I found that were low enough were the original Muller Light, Total 0% unflavoured and a couple of own brand diet ones (example M&S and Sainsburys).

Oh, and Laughing Cow light cheese triangles are good for protein shots I have found. Also Quorn mince sautéed with grated carrot, finely chopped Shallots with a light tomato pasta sauce (non-creamy) added ...

We need to largely abandon what we ate before, especially in the snack department and concentrate on getting the best nutrition from the little we can eat.

Personally I had no issues with the asda reduced fat peanut butter but everyone is different Trial and error I'm afraid.

 

[wrighty]

funny how we are all different , eggs anyway cooked will not stay down, yogurt all I want is plain ones now, tuna is a no no, my whole eating habit has turned on its head! I haven't tried peanut butter though

 

[fjsinc]

Personally I wouldn't bother with the reduced fat variety, and just go for a wholenut one like Meridian. They also do some other scrummy butters like almond and cashew. You do need fats in your diet, and its worth noting that in terms of digestion, sugar and fat counteract each other. Also in the early stages post you really dont need to worry too much about calories, just concentrate on good nutrition.

There's a lot to learn!! Protein is my main focus at the mo and getting in enough fluids. I've definitely spent a week dehydrated, so really pushing it today. Not much room for food tho! Just a petis filou so far! Hoping to enjoy fish pie later! X

 

[ceecie74]

Hitting 2 litres today!! . Feel more energetic.

Petis Filos for breakfast is working a treat. Protein shake for Lunch. Cottage pie (blended) for dinner. Sugar free jelly for a snack. 1 scrambled egg for supper. Milky coffee in an hour to take to bed!

This is a massive improvement for me, but I know I have to get those fluids up and eat more protein. Taking each day as it comes.

Well done Hun
