I have ordered Heather's book, but haven't received it yet. But I was wondering what fruits and veggies that I could buy at the grocery store that I can eat. I love bananas, oranges, grapefruit and grapes, but haven't had any in a long time. As part of my new years resolution to eat better and my goal of losing just a little bit of weight to fit in my wedding dress better I would like to get some tips on healthy stuff! I'm almost out of food and can't wait until the book arrives. Also my roommates have the fridge and freezer packed full, so stuff that doesn't have to be refridgerated are great!

hello!!
Bananas are defenetly the safest! I eat so many (at least one everyday) that my boyfriend almost makes fun of me!!! But they're just so good and SO safe!
I am currently testing oranges. My nutritionnist said I could try them after a meal (with soluble fibers). I tried it once, last week and it went pretty well.
Grapes are very tough. Pretty much all fruits are safe if puréed. Belinda told me baby food (fruits) are very easy too. I eat lots of them too (they make great snacks and different deserts)
As for veggies, carrots,potatoes and peppers and tomatoes are the ones I eat (baked, of course, except from the tomatoes). I was also told peppers and tomatoes are safest if you peel them but I don't and it seems to be working for me.
Have a great wedding!! Congratulations!

Bananas, Mango and Papaya are my favourites and should be totally safe. I also like apples and pears, but often find they go down much better if they're cooked - peeled and then stewed until slightly softened, I then eat them warm or cold.
Other fruits are good, but you should be careful with them - eat a small amount with/on a larger base of soluble fibre.
Currently, my favourite veggies are good old carrot and swede (I think you lot call them Rutabaga?? or something like that). It may be boring, but I just love it!! Fortunately, I seem to be able to tolerate most cooked veggies very well - I love broccoli, cauli, and white cabbage and green beans, mange tout, I could go on and on...
Although, I do eat them 'cooked to death' compared to today's fashionable chewy/stringy veggies!!
All this talk is making me hungry!!

I'm just determined to learn this language! "Swede" is rhutabaga, eh? Okay, what is "mange tout"? And I assume "cauli" is cauliflower, yes?
What is "bubble and squeak"?

Bananas are very good source of soluble fiber. Grapes - peel the skin off and eat them after a safe meal. Oranges and grapefruit I would be hesitant. They're very acidic (as are their juices) and the pulp is pure insoluble fiber. If you can cook it at all (like in a bread), they're better.
Applesauce is also VERY safe - you can buy the snack packs and keep them in your pantry. They're great for in between classes and lunches, etc.
Try some of the applesauce blends - I love apple strawberry for a different taste and treat.

Another fruit that has been safe for me is peaches... peeled, of course, and after a soluble fiber meal. As for veggies, no one has mentioned squash, and that's one of my safest staples! I usually get lazy and buy frozen cooked squash, then I microwave it for a few minutes and throw in some brown sugar and voila! A very safe and delicious soluble fiber veggie.

I always wanted to know this too, Bevrs, so I looked it up at Food History.com and this is what it said:
BUBBLE AND SQUEAK
"An old English dish, named for the sounds the ingredients make while cooking (or from the sound one's stomach makes after eating it). Some sources say it was originally cold boiled beef and chopped cabbage, others claim it was originally mashed potatoes and cabbage, while some claim it originally contained all three.
Today it is typically made from leftover potatoes and cabbage fried together."
