Low food map & weight watches meal ideas

[Bfarnell88]

Does anyone have any suggestions?????

I think I'm being pretty inventive but I'm so sick of the same meals.

I mainly eat chicken, rice, salad, potatoes.

-Ive had spag bol but switched the pasta to gluten free & the sauce to Passata

- I've tried steak, gammon, beef etc

You may think I'm mad but I'm also doing weight watches diet as i want to loose some weight which i think will also help my IBS. Just doing the food map diet doesn't work for me because i found myself snacked on ready salted crips, peanuts, etc

I started weight watched before i found out i had IBS so changed my diet to healthier foods but obviously my IBS got worse because i was eating more veg, fruit, beans, milk, cereal, yogurts, soup. (all not aloud of food map)

Any ideas would be great

Hi,

Try this, 'The Low FODMAP Cookbook' by Dr Sue Shepherd.

Dr Shepherd helped create the FODMAP diet at Monash Uni in Australia so she definitely knows her stuff!

I think you prob need to bring doing either FODMAP or weight watchers not both they propbably contradict each other? I'd say FODMAP is more important if you are trying to get on top of your symptoms. There are lots of recipes online to follow or find a recipe you like and adapt it. I sometimes get a gf pizza base and make my own 'pizza'. Chicken fried rice can be nice add whatever you are happy eating. X

Weight loss or sorting out what's safe to eat don't always go hand in hand!

I see work mates eating tons of salad or low fat yoghurts and tons of fruit to lose weight!! All of which I can't eat!

So why not calorie count what you are eating on the fodmap diet instead!!

Good luck 🙂
