newsXzai.4932$%[email protected] am desperate to get on a low-calorie diet, but have no means to consult
with a doctor or afford some diet program like Nutrisystem. Is there any
way to consult with a doctor free of charge?

What I'm looking for is a 1500 calorie per day diet that is painfully
simple to follow. If I could just eat the exact same, easy-to-prepare meal
every day, I could follow it. Willpower is not the issue, and I could
easily eat the same thing every day if I could only figure out what I need
to do to make it work.

Thanks,
John

Or just eating less would work.

Well yes there is as a matter of fact. You can look up FAQ's for
nutrition blogs and sites, that will probably answer your most
important questions. Nutritionists, not doctors are probably best at
giving diet advise, though, since that is what they do. You have lots
of choices.

Another thing to remember is that fees for doctors are negotiable like
lots of things. If you talk to the doctor and not the business manager
or receptionist, he/she will often waive fees for services if you have
a good reason for not having any money. He/she might also just tell
you to go get Medicaid coverage and come back then.

I saved over $25,000 at Mayo Clinic by talking to the doctor, and
another few thousand by talking to another doctor and hospital
administrator about billing....AHEAD OF TIME. Why would this work? It
works because doctors and hospitals give services away all the time,
plus their fees are not consistent. They are also willing to accept
Medicaid reimbursment and other 3rd party reimbursement for just a
fraction of their full charges (those listed on the bill, if you don't
say or do anything and aren't insured), so they might just do the same
for you. dkw
