After talking to me for a while about what you can and cannot eat, she was appalled at the concept of giving up milk and fruit.


You know...I have co-workers who have made similar comments like "oh, I could never give up my carbs. Fat is so much easier to give up/cut down and how could you never eat fruit?"

I find it interesting that these are the same people that I have yet to see eat a piece of fruit in the office (usually it's doughnuts...Krispy Kreme just opened a store here and it's all the rage). I've also been known to point out that I DO eat fruit...just usually berries and melons and that there are plenty of good sources of calcium besides milk.
