Geez, that's a lot of food. Much more, even, than it looks like Dr. S recommends. The very first example in the book for breakfast is scrambled eggs, sausage, 2/3 cup oatmeal with butter and cream, and sliced tomatoes.

Maybe the recommendations given to you by your nutritionist were based on a body more "damaged" than mine (that sounds like a slam, but it's really not) so that you need more food.

I like the plan, but I have no intention of eating all the food you mentioned nor of gaining 40 pounds. That may have been necessary for you to regain your health, but I don't believe gaining 40 pounds is in my best interest.

My menus so far have been around 1800 calories. More carbs and food than I'm accustomed to, but really only about 300 calories more.

I do thank you for your story and I wish you the best.
