Must Resist Force Feeding
Yesterday I visit the dietitian for a bit of "Nutritional Therapy" (working on that cholesterol) and now today this:
This is how we reward people where I work. The food has been "out" for 45 minutes and the one or two veggie trays are empty, leaving chips, pop, cheese, crackers, cookies - - none of which are on my new plan.
For those family members who want all the gory details of yesterday's therapy, here's a brief summary (cut/pasted from e-mail to Hobbled Wife):
Hi everyone,
The food has arrived and is available in the vending area. The supply will be replenished throughout the day.
Thanks again for your hard work on this campaign.

Dietitian visit very interesting. Needless to say, I am doing most things right: whole grain breads, fair amount of fruit and vegetables. She liked that I was trying to cut out between meal snacks and bedtime treats.
She recommended cutting back on sugars (jelly at breakfast for instance) in an effort to bring down the triglycerides. She also suggested cutting way back (or cutting out) cheese. (I have a ham/cheese sandwich in my lunch today). Another thing - - more fish (omega three fatty acids. Suggested flax seed as an additive.
She recommended a diet of 1400- 1500 calories per day (40 - 45 grams of fat - 11 - 15 of that saturated).
