Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Commercial Weight Loss/Increase Protein/Decrease Carbs????

Hi!! I totally know your frustration. I've had an impossible time losing weight forever. I tried the GI diet which helped a little but with their advocation of artificial sweeteners, it wreaked havoc on my stomach! I'd finally had enough of it and decided to see a naturopathic doctor. She suggested I try this diet (I am seeing her tomorrow for a follow up.):

Breakfast: cream of rice cereal with rice milk or almond milk
or
oatmeal

Lunch: Protein (chicken, fish, tofu or turkey and not processed so no lunch meat)
1/4 plate brown rice
1/2 plate steamed veggies (NOT raw)

Dinner: Protein (chicken, fish, tofu or turkey and not processed so no lunch meat)
1/2 plate steamed veggies (NOT raw)
Sweet potato (optional. Not regular potatoes or yams)

Snacks: Unsweetened applesauce,
or fruit (max 2 servings per day)
plain, 2% fat nothing added yoghurt.

She said not to use store bought salad dressing or condiments but it's acceptable to make your own oil and vinegar dressing.

Since following this (and exercising every day) I've lost about 5 pounds in one week. (Week 2 is next week.)
It's hard at first but gets easier. Also I have made my own home made soup with ground chicken/turkey, brown rice and veggies.)

No dairy, wheat or pasta.... give this a try!

Good luck!
