ASK A DIETITIAN

I tried to quit bread because I was watching my weight and now I can’t eat it at all. I have the uncontrollable feeling that I have to throw up. What should I do?

It’s an unhealthy approach to quit any food group or food item for the sake of dieting. Try adding it back by creating healthy and delicious recipes. Make a sandwich; eat it with an egg or make French toast. Look for a recipe including bread that you enjoy. Do it gradually.

My toddler just won’t eat and she’s underweight too. Shall I start any supplements instead?
