i was told to avoid ice cream. The dietitian said that if I wanted a
frozen dessert I should have frozen yogurt or sherbet. We discussed the
fact that I made my own ice cream she was talking about all the fat and
calories. I pointed out that home made ice cream is more satisfying and
i had only small portions.
I had problems with milk issue. It was okay with her if I had 1% or 2%
and did not have to go the skimmed milk route. But I don't drink milk. I
only have it on cereal, and I prefer whole milk for that. For some
reason is is okay for me to drink a litre of 2% every day, but not to
have a litre of whole milk over one week. The way I figure it is that I
would ened up with more fat from all that 2% than I would from the
little bit of whole milk I had been using.
Pork was on my list of things not recommended, especially sausage.
I am trying to balance the advice of the dietitian with what makes sense
to me. I may not agree with everything she said, but I have to be
careful. As much as I resent the change, I went through hell three
months ago and I sure as hell don't want to have to do this again
