06/21/2010 UPDATE--APPOINTMENT WITH DIETITIAN

Jun 23, 2010

15 more pounds gone for a total of 35!!  My total cholesterol is now in the normal range.

Dietitian is "concerned" about me.  I thought I had been doing really good.  She told me "it looks like you have been focusing on getting in your protein and that is what you are supposed to be doing, but I think you need to focus on getting in a few more carbs.  Your body can only stay in ketosis for so long."  Confused. 

Also, I had forgotten the rule about not drinking with meals or within 30 minutes of eating.  I had been sipping on a glass of milk with my breakfast. and one in the evening.  LOVE MILK!!   I thought it would be good because it has a fair amount of protein (9 grams/serving).  She said I have to count the milk as a snack and wait 30 minutes after eating to begin drinking it.  I find it difficult to eat a meal without even a sip of liquids, but I'm gonna try.   She said once I reach a cup of food at a meal, I have to cut out ALL of my snacks.  Easier said than done ??
