Thank You lc from NW
I just back from the Intern and the blood work was excellent excepting I get it with meds. She said I had to lose the weight because I was in a spiral, downward and that all they could do was give me more and more medicines.
Of course her story was the same, I'm lying about the food I consume! and I must eat less than I use. but last year, my gastroenterologyst said, that just sitting in a chair required you to use at least 1500 calories. But she also added that I needed to stay out of carbs way, because FOR ME this was a losing battle. She said it will be a long while before the medical profession will admit there is more to losing weight than just cutting calories.
So now I have to keep a diary and weigh every morsel and measure everything I put in my mouth. I was hurt about her saying I lie, so I agreed to do this for a week to prove something or other to her and myself. So this afternoon I purposely went out of my way to prepare a lunch that would be well rounded and still low carb,{even though she doesn't agree w/this}
It turned out that this is a bigger lunch than I normally eat!!
4 oz roasted chicken, steamed broccoli, small salad w/ olive oil and vinegar.
tea and water.
She also said to try glucophage as an inhibitor to insulin pushes and a diet suppressor. She claims this is a new approach and I should lose about 4 lbs in a couple of weeks if it's working.
Still thinking about that and want to search the internet about how safe and who started this new thinking, since I am not diabetic YET.
Anyone with any knowledge about this?
So I couldn't wait to get on the net to see what my new friends at lowcarbers were up to. I realy, really appreciate the input from all of you. If you want to email me separately I would be happy to chat more, I need the companionship, even though it is remote.
Feeling hopeful today!
