Food talk with the Vets - brain all confused after Dietician

Thank you everyone for giving. Some great information. It really is difficult with what the dietician says, what we have engrained in our heads of "proper healthy eating" and what we are finding is working for us. Only those who have gone through the journey and talk with multiple others know what is going to be successful. You guys are definitely great and much needed sounding boards on these issues. I will keep doing what I am doing and follow all of your advice!

Way to go gbear and a great question to ask.

I am on the same track as you. Lots of protein and water. Veggies and some fruit and I am good to go.

I am not having anything sweet (other than the occasional fruit) or sweeteners. No artificial anything. No pasta, bread or wheat. No rice. No simple carbs.

I went to see the the dietician as well and basically just nodded. I have read enough success stories here to know that protein is the way to go at least until we get to maintenance.

We only get this chance once. Let's rock it!
