...that I should make another list: a list of really good things I was able to eat BEFORE I got stable. I mean, I've only considered myself stable for a month or so now... and if I was eating NO good food before then, I certainly wouldn't be as chubby as I am now. 
So...
Heavenly foods that you can eat BEFORE you're completely stable:
Anti-depressant brownies!
cailin's INCREDIBLE Baked Chicken with Plums, Ginger and Soy (look in the recipe index)!
Heather's Peppermint Fudge Cake!
Heather's Great-Great-Grandmother's Chocolate Applesauce Bread!
GRILLED CHICKEN!! (Brush it with a little honey just before it's done... yum! I love my grilled food!)
Oven fries!
Even better: oven sweet potato fries!
Peach cobbler!
...and the list goes on and on, because you're right, Franny, I think you have to be REALLY picky to not find something delicious to eat, with all the great recipes on the boards and in Heather's book (and in other low-fat cookbooks as well).

It's a great post, but I had to start eating GF today and am not happy at all. Between the IBS & Celiac there isn't much available here for me to eat. I'm soooo hungry. I have got to get someone to take me to Whole Foods.

Oh boy, let's see...when I am stable, I am able to enjoy
a small piece of chocolate everyday after dinner
lactose-free milk (can't tolerate soy)
a small amount of cheese on my eggs in the morning
lots of fresh cooked veggies
extra olive oil on my pasta
ritz crackers and almond butter
Whey protein shakes (for extra calories)
extra helping of yummy fatty salmon (again, I need the calories)
Again, I can indulge in these items only if I am stable. Unfortunately, I just started my period today, so it looks like I'll only be able to eat super safe things for the next week. Sadness.

~ ALL fruit, in any form(apples make me burp) except kiwi, banana(on a hunch) and EVIL AVOCADO!LOL!
~ Vanilla Soy Milk mmmm
~ Tazo Chai Tea Latte with Soy, every day. So amazing.
~ Sorbet! Give it to me however I can take it!
~ Sushi!
~ Pasta with tomato sauce if my GERD isn't being a nerd.
~ White bread and margarine(nonhydrogenated works fine with me)
~ OUtback's Chocolate Thunder from Down under brownie-it's gluten free but FULL of fat. Fat isn't tooooo bad for me.
~ rice krispie squares! I think I'd die without them now.
~ Grilled chicken breasts, poached salmon, the occasional very lean steak(oh mercy, does she?? and pork tenderloins have NEVER bothered me.
~ occasionally, a chocolate chip cookie. But warning, I will eat the whole box in 4 days. Therefore, we usually don't have them. 
Great idea, it's very nice to celebrate!!

Can you visualize/imagine deriving pleasure from simple fruits and vegetables? You know, mother nature's goodness? A funky chicken or fish dish? (You sound like a flesh eater, sorry, if I'm being presumptuous.)

Ooooh, that sounds awesome! Yeah, I find people understand what insoluble fiber is real quick when I mention corn.

Oh yes, I tried Heather's recipe for french toast - the kind with plums (I forget the exact name, it's in the book). Oh, it was wonderful! I hadn't had french toast in years and it was a glorious, glorious day.

I just discovered tonight how wonderful sweet potatoes are! Can't wait to find new recipes for them. I have to admit, the IBS has spurred my creativity in the kitchen and I have fun trying new recipes. And thanks to this diet, weight loss has become SO much easier, and I hope it continues to come off as easy as it did when I started following it!

Hi all!
When I am not stable, here are things that I actually enjoy eating:
-Pretzels! Love 'em
-Hummus (not a lot, and with some soluble fiber - yum!)
-Luna Bars
-Applesauce.. especially the peach and mango flavoured!
-Small amounts of Silk chocolate soy milk
-Arrowroot cookies
-Angel Food Cake
-Rice Crispy Squares
-Halibut baked in foil with lemon, garlic and rosemary - yum!
-Oven fries
-Dairy free Mango Sorbet (my biggest love!)
------ I'm sure those aren't the only ones, it is pretty late right now so I am struggling for my brain to work!!
When I AM stable, I add some more stuff LIKE...
-More soy products... Soy ice cream, more soy cheeses and stuff like that.
-Small amounts of popcorn and corn on the cob
-More vegetables
-SMALL amounts of dairy when I am feel particularly stable, and have something uber safe first
-I can also have extra lean red meat.. but this is a huge no-no for some so beware!
-Sushi!
-Oatmeal
-Small slurpees (I drink the 'clear' flavour ones)
-Small amounts of chocolate
-Peppermint Fudge Cake!!
I know there are loads more, but I must get my butt to bed!
Good idea for a post!!
Cheers!
--Steph
