Everyday Systems

Went to my annual checkup this morning. She noted I gained weight from my last visit (as if I didn't know!) but then went on a long speech about which foods to eat at McDonalds (I dont' eat at McD's or any of those fast food places anymore).

So I told her about the noS diet, 3 meals a day... she 'reminded' me to eat something inbetween meals to 'keep your bloodsugar up."

Ugh. Do we have a banging head against a wall smiley? That inbetween meal eating is precisely the issue!

And lets just all assume we overweight people drive through a mcd's daily.

Ugh.

I'm more than frustrated, but I supposed that's the majority of overweight people they see, ignorant about nutrition.

Rant over!

That's bizarre - none of their food is remotely healthy is it?

Unless she said 'eat the cardboard box and throw away the burger', it sounds like really bad advice.

Also, I can't help laughing at the 'don't forget to eat lots of snacks to keep your blood sugar up' suggestion!

Yeah, the first person to whom I mentioned the strategy of this diet had to reply with a lecture about how I should snack between meals to keep my metabolism going or I will never lose weight. If that idea worked, I should already be the thinnest person in the world as my daily routine was to constantly snack!
