[QUOTE="Chook, post: 1353917, member: 24561"] I've had similar conversations with both doctor and DN. The best one was when Mr Chook was with me. The DN going on about needing enough carbs for the brain to work. Mr C asked what would happen if I didn't eat enough carbs and she said I would get brain problems and possibly die. He asked how long this might take - she said that it would be 'just a matter of weeks' - me and Mr C both burst out laughing. She then looked properly on my records and realised I had been low carbing for over a year. I've never seen such a red face! Thankfully she has left and there's a new one now who seems a bit more interested in what I'm doing. [/QUOTE]
