sounds like its not worth seeing a dietician, think i will cancel
I have been seeing my new dietician and she is up to date on carbs and diabetics. She recommends, low carbs, (not no carbs) and low fat.. .
I posted that she recommends low carbs/fat, however, I eat more fat than she recommends,especially on meat.I don't understand how anyone can do a low carb/low fat diet. That must involve increasing protein to make up the missing calories, or where do you get your energy from?
I am also getting fitted out for bigger front teeth, with all the salad and veg I'm eating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol!
I think it would involve largely eating dust. Mmm...yummy!I don't understand how anyone can do a low carb/low fat diet. That must involve increasing protein to make up the missing calories, or where do you get your energy from?
OMG - there's some frightening stuff on that website. I'm seriously worried about taking Gliclazide now.Yep, protein. The body knows how to get energy from protein quite easily. May I suggest you read Diet 101 by Jenny Ruhl http://www.amazon.co.uk/Diet-101-Truth-About-Diets/dp/0964711656 You will be shocked, surprised, enlightened.Or her website http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/index.php
This lady is my hero. If you want to know how the body really deals with food and how diabetes works and how low carb works and actually won't kill you, then this reference supported info will help you.
.............or don't subscribe to the same views as above.I've been using this forum for a few years now and it seems that the dieticians fail more often than GPs or DNs in giving correct advice for diabetics. Most seem to have no training in diabetes needs and therefore just churn out the usual NHS Healthy diet stuff. For people who use this forum there is no advantage in seeing a dietician unless you have a very specific metabolic problem or multiple medical conditions
