Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Malisa, Dr Enns seems knowledgeable and is very nice to talk to. I was a little upset with him when he told me that I needed to loose weight. No kidding! I just looked him in the eye and asked him " how do I do that " . I can't exercise. Just walking in the store today has made my legs weak. He told me that I should go see a nutritionist. I explained that I have a background in nutrition. I didn't get into it, but I am sure the " diets " I have put myself on are much more strict than anything a nutritionist would ever come up with. (very low calorie diets make me extreamly ill) At one point in my life, about 5 years ago, I didn't eat any refined foods. No sugar, no white bread etc. My diet was low fat, high fiber and the most nutritious that I could come up with. Whole grains, fruits and vegetables with a small amount of meat. I ate this way for 3 years. At this point I was even able to exercise some. I walked about 20 minutes a day. (about all I could tolerate) Guess what! I didn't lose a single pound. I was able to hold my weight steady, but that is all. I am not able to do that any more because I just don't have the energy to do it. A lot of the time my husband has to cook and he just doesn't have the cooking skills to enable him to do what I did. We don't eat poorly just not as well as we did. I don't know if he thinks I have Mito or not. He says that I don't fit into any well recognized profile, but that doesn't mean I don't have mito. My husband believes that he thinks I do. I don't know. He didn't say anything about a study. He did take my concerns seriously and on the whole was very kind. After we talked for a while, he ordered more tests. So he was listening carefully. Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
