VERY interesting appointment
today i had a follow up appointment with my preventative medicine doc at loma linda. he is the one who proved to me thru saliva testing that no, i was not losing my mind. i was simply producing almost no progesterone, thus my maniacal feelings!
i discussed my weight with him. he asked me what i was doing and when i explained my plan (i call it the "no white food" plan) he leaned back in his seat and BEAMED at me. then he pulled out HIS "diet" plan that he would share with me.
funny thing.....sure looked like atkins to me! he said i am right on the mark. the only thing he did suggest is that due to my "tender age" and the slowing of my metabolism, that i should include a protein snack midmorning and mid afternoon, in effect, having 6 small "mealets" throughout the day (if you include something before bed.) this would in effect, keep my metabolism raised and burning throughout the day. those snacks....protein shake, almonds, etc.
this doctor is so interesting. he became an "expert" in the field of hormone therapy AFTER working with and studying women and obesity!
so i have it on very good authority that we are on the right path. hoo-rah. i'll see him again in 3 months and i know i will be back at goal!
i am editing this to add that for those of you who don't know...loma linda university's medical center is one of the leading research hospitals in the area. they have an extensive teaching hospital and the care is top notch. dr. p. is very well known in his field!
