I’m allergic to lettuce & more veggies, some citrus fruit, some fish. How can I ever eat better/lose weight?
Severe gastrointestinal distress for up to 2 days, itching, & other foods cause raw mouth lesions if I eat certain foods. Seems like its all the healthy stuff I am allergic &/or intolerant to. Most came on suddenly, starting app. 6 yrs ago, not born with the food allergies. Any suggestions/help appreciated!
That doesn’t sound very good and understand about food allergies. You can, however, lose weight eating other foods. Just make sure the fat content is low (low-fat or better) and that you expend more calories than you eat (the same if you want to maintain your weight). Sorry to say, but that usually means some exercise every day even if that means housework. You can find some helpful fitness calculators at Shape.com.
What I would recommend is getting tested for food allergies. I was tested this year and they were even able to verify my kiwi allergy which is extremely rare. I also thought I was allergic to bananas but found that I was depriving myself for years – I wasn’t allergic.
Here are some other healthy foods that you might want to try:
-fat-free yogurt
-whole-grain bread
-chicken breasts (skin removed)
-low-fat peanut butter
-soups
-low-fat cheeses (mozarella sticks are a great snack)
-eggs
-rices
The list doesn’t end here. Just look at the labels. You may also want to experiment by trying something and seeing how you feel the next day.
