-- did you know a serving of rice is 1/3 cup -

COOKED!

Hi All,

So ontop of everything else - i have reactive hypoglycemia - no big

whoop - expect that I just got back from the nutritionist

(dietician - what's the difference?) UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.....

She's putting me on a hypogylecimic/weight loss " lifestyle " (i'm not

allowed to call it a diet). did I mention UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG....

One slice toast with cheese and fruit - breakfast

hard boiled egg - mid-morning snack

2 cups lettuce, piece of chicken the size of a deck of cards, lite

dressing - maybe handful crackers - lunch

handful of nuts - late afternoon snack

1/3 cup rice (cooked) or vegetable soup, piece of fish size of deck

of cards, vegetables (steamed) - dinner

I EAT MORE THAN THIS ENTIRE DIET AT ONE MEAL -

Oh the kicker - work in exercise.

EXERCISE - I can't find time to mop the floors - EXERCISE - change

the sheets - EXERCISE - I never leave the house anymore...

I found a small window of time that I could EXERCISE to a tape from

4:10 - 4:50 while they're in ABA.

Pass the bonbons

<<< reactive hypoglycemia >>>

I had this when pregnant with Adeline. I'm sorry you have to deal with this

also.

<<<She's putting me on a hypogylecimic/weight loss " lifestyle " >>>

Don't you wish they would just be honest. No one on earth eats like this.. That

always drove me nuts, it's a diet because in real life no one eats like that

except while trying to diet. I have a girlfriend that is around 100lbs

normally. She had the other problem the dietian tell her to eat. Trust me this

little 100 pound girl does and can eat me under the table. And it isn't a one

time occasional thing. She can eat. Then why am I over 200 and she weighs 100

could it be genetics, no it must be my lifestyle.

Yup! I had to take insulin when i was pregnant with yessenia and was on a diet

like that. My sister is 5'8 " and 100 ppuns. Doesnt matter what she eats. I am

5'5 " and 175lbs. Genetics is cruel!!!!! of course sugar makes her sick and

doesnt bother me at all. But she still eats a ton!!!!!

I firmly believe that it is mostly genetics, and how your body responds to

stress. When stress is high, some bodies respond by craving sugary,

fattening foods, and releasing cortisol into the bloodstream, which in turn

triggers your body to store fat. Other people, stress doesn't trigger the

same mechanisms, and their body doesn't store the fat as readily. My dad

was one of those, and unfortunately, I'm one of the former. :-( Hence,

since Matt's birth, subsequent heart surgery, my dad's death, Matt's dev.

delays and now dx of autism, my weight has gone from 208 (a week after his

birth) to close to, if not over 250 right now. :-( I'm almost 5'3 " . :-(

I had a really good idea, ellen....

Wanted to see if it worked for you.

What if we put some time aside once a week, maybe say Wednesday Morning,

where we meet at Discovery Park after we drop the kids off at school, walk

the perimeter of the park then go have coffee?

Does that sound like a good start?

If not, I'm open to other ideas....

Unfortunately, this IS a perfectly healthy " diet " .

So completely unrealistic though!!!

I should keep a copy of you're 'non diet'. I've been having bouts of

hypoglycemia too and my Dr. said to start avoiding processed sugars. I'm

high risk for adult onset diabetes. Ugh.

Sounds WONDERFUL to me. It will help the weight, and the mental health too!

I prefer diet drugs over boring nutritionist-approved diets.

Yuck.
