So one should take a nutritionist's advice with a grain or 2 of salt.... As for the carbs, they are the body's main source of energy BUT it is best to eat WHOLE grains and carb sources that are HIGH in FIBER because whole grains has more vitamins and more fiber than the refined/white grain products. Also fiber helps you feel more full after a meal than non-fibrous foods. If we consider this, then eliminating wheat from the diet is not necessary rather, if you eat wheat do so in moderation and make sure it is whole grain (and has whole grain flour as the first ingredient on the ingredient list).... just saying... ehh just stumbled upon this blog and was browsing… one thing my nutrition professor made clear to note that apparently there is a difference between a “nutritionist” and a “registered dietician.” according to my prof. anyone in my quarter long college nutrition course could call themselves nutritionists but only people who undergo full bachelors programs in nutrition and examination/licensing can be called registered dieticians. of course that’s here in the US (though i believe other countries such as canada have similar organizations that certify these people and hold them to high standards and ethical guidelines unlike nutritionists).

I laughed in her face and told her that I eat that in a DAY. She just started stammering that "You can't..." They get told in school that diabetics should eat fewer carbs and that if they can get them down to 45-60 grams a meal, great. Some how when they get out into the world it becomes that you have to! If I ate 45 -60g a meal that would mean I'd have to take 11-15 units of insulin at EVERY meal on top of the long acting I take morning and night. I've seen the weight that my mother has put on thanks to the standard diabetic diet and I don't want to live like that. She is my height and currently over 300lbs and that is AFTER the lapband surgery. I've told my doc that I am going to stop saying that I am a type II diabetic (which most people associate with having no control) and tell people that I am carb intolerant instead.

Don't even want to think about what's keeping that stuff fresh for so long! Congrats on ditching the wheat! Huge step. I like it too much to give it up entirely, but 99% of the time I don't indulge... Cheers, Adam Hi Christine,

I not only lost weight particularly abdominal fat but got rid of IBS (along with exercise of course). The picture of Wonder Bread is interesting - when we were kids we would tear off the crust and roll the centre of the slice of bread in our hands - it very quickly turned into a solid lump of dough - if that isn't enough to turf it from the diet, I don't know what is.
