text: i need to loose some weight in 1 month, how many pounds can i loose, and what do i have to eat? i have irritable bowel syndrome, and dont eat chicken becuase i got really sick the last time i ate it. eat less food more often, instead of 3 big meals eat 6 small meals and exercise.  eating smaller meals will not make you feel bloated and lazy, then you can walk or use some other low impact exercise.
