If It’s a diet, why can’t I lose weight?
This question has a two pronged answer!
Firstly, the low FODMAP diet was created by a team of Dietitians and scientists to help manage debilitating GI symptoms, it was NOT built for weight loss!
The reason this diet is not used for weight loss is because it is restrictive, and if you don’t have IBS or GI symptoms, then there is no need to restrict these highly nutritious foods.
Secondly, it is discouraged from attempting to lose weight at the same time as completing the low FODMAP diet. This is due to the degree of detail, planning and effort that both goals take.
Losing weight, like completing the low FODMAP diet, requires planning, commitment and attention to detail to achieve your desired goal. Completing both goals simultaneously could compromise achieving adequate progress towards both goals.
It is of greater benefit to work towards one goal at a time, or wait until you have completed phase 2 of the Low FODMAP diet and have a personalised, sustainable diet to work from.
Remember, the low FODMAP diet is NOT a weight loss diet.
When in doubt, ask your trusted FODMAP-trained Dietitian for personalised support on what works best for YOUR circumstances!

Staying hydrated on a low FODMAP diet:
With the weather heating up in the southern hemisphere, it is more important than ever to focus on meeting your hydrating needs!
When we don’t drink enough water, we run the risk of becoming dehydrated and having dark yellow urine. Dehydration can prompt symptoms such as headache and decreased concentration and alertness.
How can we minimise dehydration? Try these tips!!
1. Carry a water bottle with you everywhere you go! A visual reminder can help prompt you to drink water more consistently throughout the day.
2. Drink more low FODMAP teas! Having teas on hand that you enjoy can be a helpful way of increasing your intake.
3. Drink smoothies: during the hotter months including smoothies as snacks or meals can be a great way to sneak in fluids from water or milk and higher water low FODMAP content fruits and veg.
4. Make your own icy poles: creating your own icy pole recipes with water or milk and low FODMAP fruit can be a tasty way of meeting your fluid goals.
5. Include low FODMAP fruit and veg options with high water content such as: cucumber, zucchini, tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries, grapes or pineapple.
6. Set a timer on your phone to remind you to drink water throughout the day.

How to ensure you have a varied diet while eating low FODMAP:
Eating a varied diet with a range of different foods every day is important to ensure that our body is getting all the different nutrients it needs from a variety of sources.
When following a low FODMAP diet, it can be easy to fall into the habit of eating the same few foods each day.
Try these tips to include more variety into your daily intake:
- Eat the rainbow - try to include foods that are each colour of the rainbow every day.
- Next time you go to the supermarket, purchase a low FODMAP fruit or vegetable your don’t usually eat, or add an extra ingredient to you usual recipe.
- Search the web for a new recipe you haven’t tried before - ensure they are from a reliable source such as FODMAP Friendly, Monash FODMAP, FODMAP Everyday or Gut Feel Goods - all evidenced-based by FODMAP-trained Dietitians.
- Garnish your meals with nuts and seeds (low FODMAP options include walnuts, pecans, flax seeds, LSA, chia seeds, pine nuts and peanuts).
- Make sure you complete all three phases of the low FODMAP diet to ensure you are including as many foods as you can tolerate in your diet.
