Challenge The "Experts"
Having been in the business, I think I know how your dieticians came to their recommendations. I won't go on a rant here and open myself up to lawsuits; but pick your favorite conspiracy theory, and you won't be too far off.
Another thing I have noticed about SOME dieticians is a very sheep like attitude. They follow the herd and don't seem to question the dictums from above. Another disturbing thing is that many I have known simply stopped doing any serious research after graduating.
Look at all the reversals that have happened in medicine over the years. How about salt? First its good, remember taking salt pills when sweating a lot? Then it was evil, enter the bland times! Then it was found innocent of the major crimes, but still suspicious. Today....who knows. My point is that we are still discovering how our bodies work. It is a great mystery and adventure. Beware of those who have ALL the answers! (given to them by "experts").
You are the customer, not the patient. Demand good service.
Ask for personal referances and phone numbers for others on the plan that your dietician has recommended . Suggest being the "control group" by going against all advice and eating high fat only. Oops this is getting a bit long.
