What to do...

[Guest guest]

What to do... What to do.... What to do..... I just don't know what to do. I went to the doctor yesterday because it was time for him to check on my diabetes. He said everything on my blood test looked great. In fact he said that your blood test should come back below 6.5 and mine came back as 5.6. So I am very good there. The doctor said he doesn't want me following what the diabetic clinic taught me to do to eat. He said they have you eat too many carbs. Then he said something that just doesn't make much sense to me. He said he was proud of me for losing weight, but he wanted to see me losing weight faster. He said I should be only having 400 calories within 24 hours. Does that make sense to you? Can some one really live on 400 calories a day? Surely he mis-spoke. Maybe he meant 1400 calories within 24 hours. I couldn't believe it when he said 400 calories. I was so dumbstruck that I didn't ask him if he meant 1400 calories. He told me if I eat like he says I will be dropping weight like crazy. I think he is crazy if he thinks I am going to eat just 400 calories a day. I don't know what to do. I don't know whether to do what I have been doing in the past following the diabetic clinic's instructions or to do Weight Watchers or to eat around 1400 calories. I just can't see me trying to eat 400 calories a day. I tried to do Weight Watchers not too long ago, but it was hard to do with my eating the diabetic way thing. But the doctor said he doesn't want me following the diabetic clinic's way. So what do I do? I just can't see me eating only 400 calories a day. I don't know if doing Weight Watchers would be too stressful for me to try to figure out how many points things have. Is it very hard? Would it be easier to figure on just how many calories to have. Would that be easier to do? If I do that how do I know how many calories to eat? Soooooooooooooooo confused!!! from MO
