Sharon, I was eating hardly any sugar but I did eat a lot of chocolate etc  I know this is full of sugar, but I wasn't eating cakes before I started the diet. Since starting the diet, I have cut out completely any junk food, candy (we call them lollies in Australia), potato chips, take away etc. Now, I eat home made meals but I think I am eating too much for example with enchiladas I will eat two and a half cos I am starving! Even though they only have refried beans in them (nearly fat free ones), I am having soy cheese with them and taco sauce. Most of this stuff is nearly fat free. I was making Heather's breads (lemon, Pumpkin spice and the one with lime in it. I was eating these most every day (a few slices a day), but recently haven't been eating them at all. I made the very yummy fallen pecan one in her book and admit I did eat most of that over a few days. So, I am guessing I am eating too much? I have always had problems with my weight and really started loosing it at the beginning of the IBS diet which was around 2 months ago, but have slowed right down. I am not exercising either. But, I feel so much better! My skin is clear and I am not nearly as tired anymore. I am a single mother with one 17 yr old at home and I work fulltime outside of the home (and fulltime inside too LOL). I have stabilised so much and haven't had an attack for ages. Can you give me some advice on how to start to get my sluggish metabolism moving and also eat nice stuff but low fat?
Thanks
Trish
