As
FOOD INTOLERANCE is a prime factor in many cases of long standing Digestive & Intestinal discomfort problems such as bloating, excess flatulence etc, you should try to follow an elimination diet that mainly consists of eating chicken, fish, white rice & soft boiled or steamed vegetables for the first 5 to 10 days (before following the Meal Plan below).
Thereafter you can introduce 1 other food at a time but gauge the reaction you have to the new food.
- There is no 'One diet that fits all' as everyone has different reactions and in our opinion, this is the best approach to determine your problem food item(s).
- It is a bit more difficult for vegetarians due to limited choice of high protein and low fibre foods.
Start by eliminating wheat, gluten & dairy products i.e. no bread, pasta, cheese etc.
Eat mainly soft boiled or steamed vegetables with white rice, eggs, fish (if you eat it) & only 2 fruits per day for the first 5 to 10 days (before following the Meal Plan below).
Thereafter you can introduce 1 other food at a time and gauge the reaction you have to the new food.
- ALSO, if you have found losing weight difficult whilst having Digestive & Intestinal problems, food intolerance is one of the main reasons for this.
This is due to your body's reaction to various foods.
You will find that once you have corrected your Digestive & Intestinal problems, you will be able to shed that excess bodyfat, fluid retention (that puffy look) & weight far more easily.
