Update on me and my NUT and other stuff

Some of you know I am working at a fun job and I actually enjoy it. Its physical but not enough hours to get a good paycheck yet. So I decided to add another income stream. In Oregon I sold a product via parties and I was a manager and did pretty well at it. I have decided to see if I can do it here too. So I am awaiting my kit and will be hopefully booking parties. Wish me luck. If anyione wishes to know more about the actual product feel free to PM me. But I don't want to annoy anyone with a bunch of ads in our support group.
I saw my NUT yesterday and she actually lightened up on the carb issue and is okay with my so called 'cheats'. I feel better about seeing her now. I guess I just needed to explain how I felt about it and she said that since I am making good progress she can accept that I need fiber in my diet. Either that or she realized that I might be a bit pig headed about things. Hmm I don't know which LOL!

Good luck with the new venture, Ann!  You're always welcome to share anything like that with me.  I will PM you my actual email addie. 

So you have a carb nazi nut?  :)  I will definitely be needing lots of good carbs in my diet post-op.  Hopefully my nut and I will see eye-to-eye o that issue!

Now to PM ya...!

Hi Ann,

Good luck with your new venture.

I hope it will help you to know that I have have always had carbs as a part of my 'diet.' I had beans and legumes of all sorts very early on and they have helped me through my journey.

Wishing you all the best,

 I have a personal doctor that subscribes to the one size fits all book on numbers and statistics. She can quote the right blood pressure, hemoglobin, cholesterol, triglycerides, and obesity and all that stuff like it was some statistics that every person in the world should fit into. Naturally she is most likely a bmi of 18 and healthy as a horse. However one day I asked her where did she get the magic numbers. She told me they went up in the north east to some town and did some huge study on the population of one town and determined what should be the right thing for the rest of the world when it comes to health. I asked her if she ever ate fried chicken, collard greens and cornbread to which she replied whats that.. I almost rolled my eyes but trying to be the nice gentleman in front of her just sighed a bit and explained that was food those folks in the noerth east most likely had never tried and it could sorely affect the outcome of blood work on them. I figure Nuts are just about in the same boat. If they could get a chance to preach some doctrine straight from the book to your ears then how would it apply to a persons regular ways of eating. If you totally cut out carbs ate only protein never looked at a vegtable would your canine teeth get longer? It just urks me when professionals seem to have such sage advise and it might apply to one person in a hundred.  I will get off my soapbox now.. good luck with the new business. 

Hey Ann:

Glad to hear you are doing so good.  Thankfully, my nut has preached proteins first but a balanced diet.

Take care,

Pam
