    Went to a wellness fair at work today

    We had a wellness fair at work today. Blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose screen, and body composition.

    Well after the cholesterol screening they counsel you on the results. I should have kept my mouth shut about my weight loss and diet, but....

    Anyway this institutionalized nutritionist proceeded to tell me how Atkins will directly raise my cholesterol. I replied that I didn't want to get into a philosophical discussion about it but that I had the numbers to prove it does not. And the only reason my numbers are higher is that I fell off the wagon for the past three months.

    I should bring my spreadsheet down to show her, but why bother I know she won't listen.

    You just cant talk to some people!

    You could explain to her until you are blue in the face, but it would do any good, she would not listen.

    It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




    I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

        I hate when these types try to dictate to us, what we have already proven them to be wrong! Its frustrating!

            LOL you should have said "really? Can you show me some medical studies to back you up cause I know about the DUKE study that says you are wrong?" never had anybody comeback including the folk that spam us with misinformation about Atkins with an actual medical study backing up what they say.

              my doc is actually a PA and she has stuff all over the walls of her exam rooms touting low carb. That is how I originally became interested.

              She's a good one.
