We couldn't find a solution for this patient with our traditional stuff. I just thought I would suggest something a bit non-traditional. I really wasn't trying to gouge her

The thing with this whole episode is that she had such strong feelings about atkins....and she has never. read. the. book! I hate it when people can give me such brutal (sometimes ugly) opinions when they are mis- or un-informed.

DDMariana... what degree are you working on?

I agree that people have been indoctrinated with the great "low-fat" "low-cal" "low-nutrition" woe! It is hard for me sometimes to realize that it is ok to put that cream in my coffee! I do think the food industry is getting a bit nervous too!
