[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 356067, member: 55568"] The advice given by DNs can often be very poorly expressed. For example one poster on this forum reported that she was told to 'eat lots of carbs' but she was also told to try to keep to 1200 Kcal per day. 1200 Kcal per day will result in weight loss whereas eating lots of carbs could result in weight gain, if unrestricted in quantity. What I suspect the DN meant was keep to 1200 Kcal per day and make sure there are carbs within that 1200. If the carbs are whole grains, as opposed to three mars bars per day, it would be a good enough diet for many people. [/QUOTE]
