I eat totally unprocessed non additive foods... I am lucky that my current consultant is 100% behind me as she sees the difference that this has made to me and my bloods and health. She is also Indian and believes in items such as coconut oil, good vegetables, home cooking etc. my dsn is also a low carber due to her own food intolerances. So I am lucky. I have never seen a dietitian or nutritionalist in 30 years. A previous dsn and folk here at one point suggest to me that I had porridge or bread/toast for breakfasts but this was horrendous for me personally.I would speak or email with the nutritionalist before paying. I think you can get a good clue about people from this..NHS dietitians.. From what I hear only... They have been taught the NHS way and daren't veer from it.An example of this sort of thing is my GP who I know quite well. To patients directly he has to encourage flu jabs... To me privately he doesn't and says why should we fill our body with toxins each year when flu is likely only to affect us once in 40 years and that can't even be sure of targetting the right flu strain...So dietitian wise with NHS I personally would not go to see them until NHS advise changes.I have lived lower carb for best part of my 52 years. I have been pretty much a size 8/10 for my adult life only putting on weight when I tried adding in toast etc.I found out this year that in 2003 I should have been advised about intolerance to aspartame and sweeteners. Although I have never had a lot of them I have cut unnatural additives and preservatives and sweeteners out totally.Personally I prefer to use Dr Google now as I believe people that are educated in nutrition only follow guidelines that they were taught. They don't live in our bodies or realise the impact of intolerances. I am lucky with my diabetic care team at hospital that they have experiences themselves. My GP care team from my Practice have no experiences and go on their taught education only. I also dislike it because they are physically looking obese themselves and yet will not entertain the idea that I have intolerances to carbs due to watching my bg's and SCT as well.Not consulted either just due to the above reasoning....</blockquote>
