I had a crummy day yesterday. Then I had to go to the grocery store. So I had frozen yogurt for dinner. I felt better.

Ice cream
pizza
potatoes
candy

Four food groups.
Thanks for this!

***sigh*** I am lactose intolerant and can't have yogurt, ice cream or pizza. I am also glucose intolerant and can't have candy. I have IBS and can't have french fried potatoes or chips. ***sigh***

Okay, I can have chocolate. Dark chocolate with almonds. Almond Joy and Mounds bars. Kit Kat bars. Hershey's chocolate bars. I could go on . . .

Unhappyguy: I have cholesterol and heart issues as well as possibly pre-diabetic. As long as I follow the food guide and avoid as many pre-made foods as I can, I will do well. I have pizza, homemmade, without cheese...just sauce and vegetables and maybe chicken.

Oh my gosh I only have a moment and then have to dash. Candy includes chocolate! (One might argue candy is chocolate! But that would preclude all the other delicious favorites I have in the candy world...)

Hey, Nicks Nose - I hear you, I am also pre-diabetic and am treated for heart related issues including high triglycerides, high cholesterol, high LDL and low HDL. (And, I cannot tolerate statins to control these problems because they poisoned my muscles.) Combined with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), it's a double edged sword. Here's why:

Heart Disease recommendation: eat high fiber whole grains
IBS: can't tolerate whole grains due to cramps and other GI problems; there is a lot less drama in my digestive system when i eat . . . white bread

Heart Disease recommendation: eat healthy oils including nuts and olive oils
IBS: can't tolerate fats well, including healthy fats. must use oil sparingly. nuts are high in fiber and cause GI problems

Heart Disease recommendation: eat fresh fruit and veggies
IBS: fresh fruit is high in sugar (pre-diabetic problem) and fiber. to digest veggies without a problem, they are often best overcooked resulting in a loss of nutrients. raw foods? forget about them because they are difficult to digest and cause GI problems. tomato sauce? too acidic. corn? too much fiber resulting in cramping and more. used to love artichokes but . . . can't digest them properly.

Heart Disease recommendation: eat beans and legumes for fiber and protein
IBS: eat in strict moderation, preferably with a low fiber food like white rice.

In brief: I'm screwed!!!

Can't eat a lot of chocolate either - it's full of sugar and too calorie dense.

Didn't realize there was any other food
