I had a question - when I went to the nutritionist (which wasn't very helpful), she gave me a booklet and crossed off almost half the food in there that she stated I was not allowed to have. Then gave me a diet plan, such as:
0 fruit, 2 oz meat, 2 starch, 2 fat, and 8 oz. milk
0 fruit, 1 oz meat, 2 starch, 2 fat
3 oz. meat, 2 starch, 2 veg, 1 fruit, 2 fat, 8 oz milk
2 oz meat, 2 starch, 1 fruit, 2 fat
3 oz. meat, 2 starch, 2 veg, 1 fruit, 2 fat
1 oz meat, 2 starch, 2 fat, 8 oz milk
She crossed off so many things off the list, like ham, ice cream, hummus, bacon, among many other things. Which I don't understand because I thought if I just kept track of carbs, it would be okay. Like not overdo myself.
I've read through this board and the diet tips and was following that and my sugar levels seem to be good. Do you know if it would be okay to just count my carbs and ensure I eat the proteins and such instead of following the stringent diet the nutritionist proposed?
