You have a really good doctor...no panic over your chosen diet to lose weight, she follows high standards of care for her practice as a family physician, and has obviously learned about the "novel" CAC test if she had not used it before. If you have a choice of cardiologists, consider asking her to recommend one that may be more accepting of a LC Mediterranean Diet. Remember Dr Westman's tip...call it a Modified Mediterranean Diet.

If you want to delve down into more information on the CAC to be ready with your questions for the cardiologist, none better than Ivor Cummins. You will see many photos of what the scans will look like to compare with the photos you have in his talks. Start with the widowmaker film you haven't seen it, so you understand the "other side" of the story, why so many cardiologist do not believe it shows all risks. Then Ivor's talks, some are very technical, and he gave a new one to doctors last week even more "hardcore" than previous. the new one is being edited, not posted yet. http://www.thefatemperor.com/blog/
