carby food pyramid.... "Shank" wrote in message ... Can someone recommend a real authentic nutritionist online that can help with weight loss etc. Perhaps you've used one that helped. thanks |

Might as well consult an astrologer. Any internally consistent theory about what diet is appropriate must take into account the Eskimo/innuit diet (lots of protein & low carb) and the "French Paradox". You cant take seriously any "science" where its practitioners can't give advice thats consistent with research & is contradictory. gtoomey |

I have yet to find a nutritionist (who works for an institutional health
organization) that knows what the hell they were talking about ... have yet to meet one with even a logical mind and a willingness to even discuss the actual chemical process that occurs when consuming foods. I have yet to find a Doctor either ... that doesn't believe that when you eat cholesterol ... it becomes cholesterol in your blood stream! In the field of medicine, we, as a country, have miserably failed in the area of common sense and the fundamental grasping of the basic physiological processes. So it is we, the people who think for ourselves, that say, "You people are SOOO wrong that it borders on unbelievable!" I think we will pick up the torch, do the job you are supposed to be doing, keep our own council, and determine what the TRUTH is and then act on it. That's what this newsgroup is all about. William James, the father of pragmatism, said it long ago "what is right is what works" ... If it works ... it is right. Dr. Atkins said "I know it works, I leave it to laboratory technicians to find out and explain why it works. I am only a practitioner, it is enough, for me, to know that it does work." A few weeks ago I was admitted to the heart unit of a major hospital. I was surrounded by diabetics. I told the staff that I was on a low carb diet. It was astounding what they brought me for meals. It was like 75% carbohydrates .... and trans fatty margarine. I said ... "what are you guys trying to do? Kill me?" The nutrition department had no idea how to make a low carb meal. Fortunately 3 of the nurses had been on a low carb diet and had each lost over a 100 pounds ... so they applied some pressure and on the 2nd day ... I finally got a weird but doable low carb meal. The nurses were getting ready to make a bun-less hamburger run for me to keep me from starving! I predict, that within 3 years ... low carb will be THE prescribed diet for diabetics ... for heart patients ... for cancer patients ... and that institutional hospitals will capitulate and start serving the right kinds of diets.
