My doctor has sent me to a nutritionist who appears to be an idiot.
He's telling me that carbs are the bad guy (like I don't already know that) but tells me I should/can have up to 2 cups of grains a day (i.e. rice), and that I should only be eating turkey, chicken or fish as meat. No "red" meat.
Yes, that's right, no beef, pork, mutton, lamb, etc.
Meanwhile, after telling me that carbs are bad, he tells me to be sure I get my two portions of fruit a day (2 portions equal a whole banana). Fruits are rife with carbs.
I think my code word for all "red" meat will be "chicken".
