Hi Grazer, it does make the eyes roll! Don't forget though that obesity is not necessarily down to bad nutrition so there's no reason why she shouldn't be a nutritionalist.
Totally agree with you.
I am obese, and have been obese for my entire adult life. Interested in nutrition all my life. Lots of reasons for my size, including PCOS, prolactinoma and reactive hypoglycaemia, vit D deficiency and insulin resistance.
Long term use of very low carbing has reduced my weight a little and improved my health a lot.
Does my weight mean that I shouldn't have opinions on food, eating and health? Or have a career of my choosing.
I think not.
I can remember a wonderful post from someone (sorry, can't remember who) about their Diabetes Nurse, who also happened to be a diabetic nurse, and who was using low carb on herself, and suggesting it to her patients. She had lost
6 stone on LC, and had something like 4 stone still to go. Marvellous achievement.
How many of her patients took one look at her, saw a fat nurse, and dismissed her advice because she was 4 stone overweight, and therefore didn't have a clue?
