You're going to find it HARD. Most breads are at least 2 -4 or more points each. IE half a cup of spaghetti pasta is 4 points!!!!! A regular slice of bread is 2. When I was on WW, I bought the WW bread which is 2 teeny slices for 1 point. Then I put on FF turkey breast, mayo, mustard and lettuce. I lived on those darned sandwiches. Most folks around here, though, will tell you that IBS and WW are not all that compatible. They want you eating TONS and TONS of insoluble fibre - which our bodies just can't tolerate. I don't want to discourage you - some have been successful. Ask Shell and them about the BMR (Body mass ratio) - it allows for more calories and flexibility. And, as you know, exercise is key.
If you truly follow the IBS diet - you are eating low fat, no red meat, no fatty dairy, so you really are on a very healthy diet - trying to incorporate as many insolubles as you can.
I liked sugar free applesauce cups (1 point)
Sugar free Jello - the whole package (2 points)
Lots of cooked carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, etc.
Hope this helps.
