Thread: Sarah's Wheat Free Slimming World Diary

Hi Everyone,

I've just started Slimming World and really enjoying it so far. Its much more fun than the low carb diets I've been doing for a while (Atkins, Dukan etc).

I thought it would help me to stay focused if I try and keep track on here through this thread.

A while ago I had an allergy test done and was told I'm intollerant to a number of things including wheat, cheese, pork, kiwi and red wine. With the help of a nutritionist I cut it all out for 8 weeks then tried to gradually introduce it all back in. Unfortunately I've not been able to put a normal amount of wheat back into my daily diet or the kiwi fruit either (although thats a much easier one to avoid!) as the wheat gives me awful stomach cramps and can make my tongue swell sometimes and the kiwi makes my mouth swell up too!

I've learnt a lot in the last few weeks about how to do slimming world without eating wheat but if anyone has any tips I'd love to hear them, or I can try and answer questions too if anyone has them...

So, food today so far:


Plan: EE

Breakfast
Egg and Mushroom breakfast 'muffin'
Weight Watchers Apricot yogurt
Banana

For the muffin chop a large mushroom into slices, beat two eggs and season. Pour a small amount of egg into bottom of an x-large silicone muffin case, top with some sliced mushroom, pour more egg on, top with more mushroom - and layer it until both are used up. Bake at 200oC until set - about 30mins.

Lunch
Chicken, Pastrami and Gherkin Sandwich
made with 2 x Brown Gluten Free Bread (HEB)
+ 1/2tbsp light mayo (1 syn)
+ 10g French's Mustard (0.5 syn)
Mixed Salad leaves with Mixed Salad Beans
Kraft Fat Free French Dressing
Crudities - Carrot, Cucumber, Pepper, Celery
Fat Free Fromage Frais topped with Blueberries and Strawberries

Other
Coffees made with Skim Milk (HEA)
Sugar Free Gum (0.5 syn)

I will update later any afternoon snacks and my dinner which I think is going to be gluten free pasta with chicken and veggies....
