Hi Saddlermark

Do you have any food triggers for your flare up? As ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune disorder you could try cutting out gluten, if you haven't already. Perhaps you could try an alternative way of eating to help you lose weight without being hungry. Taking some probiotics may help repair your gut.

This link recommends more protein than most people need, but hopefully the rest of it may be helpful.

Good luck with the C to 5k, make sure you don't overdo it when you get started.

If you love food, are you a savoury or sweet person?

If you are a sweet person, you can eat honeycomb which is fat free, as are meringue nests.

If you are a savoury person, a homemade vegetable soup. You can eat as much of it as you like. Try the cabbage soup diet, it's actually quite nice. xx
