Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celeriac" data-source="post: 926232" data-attributes="member: 188243">Thank you all for the replies ! XWhat I want, is for someone to be able to pinpoint micronutrients which I might need to eat more of. My approach was to Google lists of foods from many sources, which came up as being pancreas-friendly, heart-friendly, liver-friendly kidney-friendly etc and try to make sure that I eat as many of them as I can within the low carb framework. I haven't dug into the antioxidant, flavonoid, plant sterol etc micronutrients. Also, I don't want to exclude something which newer research shows could be a positive thing for my health, if I can eat it,I have noticed that low carb advocates all seem to differ on vegetables. Radishes, carrots, fennel, celeriac, swede, butternut squash and pumpkin are allowed or forbidden by different people. If I knew how much of the vegetable was considered the optimal nutrient-giving amount, I could check with my meter and decide whether I needed to find an alternate, instead of just ditching all of those. It is sounding like NHS dieticians do the same as the DNS, ie toe the NHS line. If they aren't up to date with new thinking and research then I think I'd be wasting my time. I certainly wouldn't want another bullying lecture on eating <insert expletive of choice> porridge. Maybe it would be a good idea to ask questions of the nutritional therapist and see how current she is. If I come away from an appointment with lots of ideas to explore the £50 would be worth it. If I came away thinking I could have Googled that, it wouldn't be. Supposedly, professionals have access to paper on nutrition and attend conferences etc that I, as a lay person, don't have access to.</blockquote>
