I think my dietician is nuts!

My dietician is crazy! She got ugly with me because I am eating low carb and I'm in ketosis. She said that ketosis is a fad diet and I won't be able to stick with it. She wants me eating her plan which is nothing but protein, fruit, and yogurt. Which I won't stick with! What do u think?

Not even veggies? That's like...medical malpractice to give that advice....geeeeessss.

 

You need a plan you can stick with and reflects the life style changes you want to make.

If what your doing is working for you ( which it seems like it is)
Yes her to death and keep doing what your doing...

...or fire her - lol!  ;-) 

Wow... Ketosis, for starters, isn't a "fad diet"... You aren't taking a pill or doing anything weird. You're working your sleeve in the best way for your own body cause it seems to be working! If you are comfortable where you are, then stay there. Find a new dietician if she was that bad. In all honesty, the diet thats been advised here has been the SAME as my surgeon... low carb, high protein, very low calories. 

I hate when professionals show their ignorance to blantantly

She says low carb, high protein, low calories... But it's just those specific things that she wants me to eat. Protein, fruit, and yogurt. That gets old... I need to find other things. I told her that low carb is working for me... She said she doesn't want me in ketosis though. I told her I eat protein at night and if I cook potatoes for the family.. I limit myself to a tsp of the potatoes and most of the time I don't eat them... But she fussed at me for even doing that. So she confuses me!

I dont understand... if you are high protein and low carb and low calories, doesn't that put you in ketosis? She does sound confusing... and yeah I would hate eating that all day long. Need SOME kind of variety!

I think I am missing something here.   Protein and yogurt (Greek) are low carb.  Most of us add a small amount of fruit to our yogurt to avoid added sugar and artificial sweeteners.  What have you been eating?   Is she concerned that you are not eating enough or that your variety is too limited?

You would think that means ketosis.... But she says she doesn't want me in ketosis.... I really don't care what she says.... I feel like this is working for me right now. I'm just afraid once I'm in maintenance and can introduce more carbs that I have to count all this for the rest of my life! I'm ok with watching what I eat... I just dont want to have to count carbs all the time... And I'm scared of gaining back

I really don't want to offend you in anyway.  I know a lot of people feel that there is only one right way.  I'm not one of them.  I have seen a lot of people afraid of not losing it fast enough.  I have seen a lot of people afraid of regain.  I was afraid and I have regained.  Not all of it but a lot.  If I could go back, I would worry less about the race to get to goal and more about changing my relationship with food.  I really got so caught up in losing that I forgot about making lasting changes.

Now as far as years out, the tool still works. My problem has become breaking the rules like, drinking while eating and grazing.  Of course I'm not grazing on protein, yogurt, or fruit.   I'm working on detoxing myself from processed carbs as we speak.  I know I can lose fast by getting in to ketosis but, I know I can't maintain it.  I know it won't stay off until I do two things. First, work to develop eating habits I can live with for the long haul.  Second, deal with how I handle my emotions.  

I don't know all of the answers, but I wish you strength, wisdom, and endurance. Eat for life and health.
