I find that snacking throughout the day calms my guts (but not my stomach (see post re: possible delayed gastric emptying)). And I snack on good stuff: fruit, cereal, soluble veg., nuts. I have a great, varied diet. I'm pretty lucky in this case. However, in order to keep my IBS MOSTLY happy, I have to snack all day long. I have been eating whole and/or organic foods now since Feb.1 and have lost NOT A SINGLE POUND. In fact, I think I gained a few  I recently did some daily calore counts and have found that, even eating 'good stuff,' I am taking in over 2000 cal./day. I've read that someone my height and weight (OVERweight might I add!) should take in no more than 1920 cal./day to MAINTAIN this weight. Well, I don't want to MAINTAIN it, I want to lose some of it. I read that to lose some of it, I should cut my calories by as much as 300 cal./day. How the heck am I supposed to do that if I end up eating all the time? Here are some of the things I eat: soy crisps, apples, nuts, squash, mango, rice, multi-grain cereal, soy milk, rice milk, pear, soy yoghurt, berries, carrots.
Thank you!!
