I would consider adding in more high carb vegetables, nuts and berries. they will also cause insulin to be released.
Some grains seem to be better tolerated than wheat. Maybe quinoa, or brown rice? Wheat belly has some good commentary on grains in general.
Let us know how you do! I never really reintroduced any fruit or grains, and I feel great!
Thanks that is helpful. I knew I wouldn't be able to add wheat back but was trying to substitute some other gains. I think my mind set is that if I don't do this exactly as outlined I will regain in the blink of an eye which is exactly what happened to me with transitioning to maintenance on a number of diets I have lost count on.Originally Posted by Momto2cs
I would stay away from grains and dairy if you are clearly intolerant. They probably also make you retain water.I would consider adding in more high carb vegetables, nuts and berries. they will also cause insulin to be released.

I do love yogurt so will keep an eye out for sugar free goat ones but don't think I will find them around here.
I think the blood type diet makes more sense than it was given credit for. My background is pure Scottish except for a drop of aboriginal. Oats seems to be the only grain I can easily tolerate.
I do have some quinoa. I always meant to use it in a salad when my daughter visits. She is a vegetarian. But I always forget.
Why didn't you add fruit back? That is my favorite food but I sure can binge on it. When I first went to the clinic and was talking to the coach about what I normally ate, she said even in maintence I should limit fruit to two servings a day and one of those should be berries. I think that is what I can handle without going into binge mode with it.
