I have a tumor on my pituitary gland as well. I went from 97 pounds to 245 before I got any help. As a result I became a diabetic and was recently diagnosed with tumors on my thyroid.
All I can tell you is that this diet IS saving my life and I eat differently than my husband and kids. I make myself cheesy bones and nibble on them. Now the kids like them. I make a batch of dough and keep it in the fridge for 3-4 days and cook as I want. Try them, they are yummy!
