So lovely to read your latest post and to hear that your daughter is still doing well.
I also lost a lot of weight and it got to the point that I was scared to lose any more as well. Looking through all the diet articles and posts I became aware that some people can eat foods that others can't so I was a bit cautious about them
But I found that the foods below were ones that have been ok for me and I think have helped me put some weight back on: (Apart from the dairy items I was eating the rest from the beginning)
full fat natural bio yoghurt - I eat a pot every day.
chickpeas - added to casseroles, hummous and chickpea flour to make onion bahajis
curries with full fat coconut cream
soup with coconut cream
lentil popadoms
lentils in soup/casseroles
peas AND carrots
coconut and almond flour to bake lots of cake
good butter added to almost everything - here we have a saying that there is no food that is not improved by adding a bit of butter! I make two scrambled eggs for breakfast every morning and put butter and garlic in and eat with fresh herbs and almond bread, spread with lots of butter.
I also eat some cream, but it is natural full fat cream.
Also cottage cheese, natural and fresh
I was very careful to start very slowly with these foods, just trying a small bit of one thing at a time and then building up. I managed to get to the point where I stopped losing weight.
However now after nearly two years on the protocol I find I do not need to eat as much. I don't feel hungry so much, my body seems to use the smaller amount of food I eat much better. Maybe I'm digesting what I eat better and therefore I don't need as much. So I think you'll find the same as you go on. I now need to watch my weight again!
Of course we are all different so caution is always need with trying new foods.
Hope this helps x
