When I was in the hospital after my stroke. I kept telling that stupid doctor that I could not eat starches and sugars but I was brought the usual low fat/ low calorie foods. I would not eat them I send everything back. After the fourth day, the head dietican came to see me. I explain that when eating low cal / low fat food made me sick. She said I could not leave the hospital until I ate a normal meal. So, I found me a new doctor and he had to write a prescribtion for low carb diet. The dietian was furious because she had no idea what I could have. So I explain, and she had a fit. Your going to kill yourself. But, the last day in the hospital . I had green beans, chicken and a salad with lo carb veggies and oil and vinegar dressing. I had made my point.
I visited the dietican a year later and she was amazed at my weight loss and I showed her my blood report. Well she has been on this WOL since. So, let your example be the quilding light.
