oh man, trust me, if it was up to me I would totally not be mucking around with the kind of ultra-low-carb AND ultra-low-fat diet the doc's got me on. Pretty much the only thing I can eat without getting permission and/or doing buckets of math first is a 4 oz. piece of skinless chicken breast. And I'm only allowed that once per day. @___@ It's been ...entertaining, trying to come up with stuff I'm allowed to eat that doesn't put me over *either* the low-carb *or* the low-fat restrictions -- most diets do either one or the other, this doc has me doing both, and if carbs and fats are both verboten that pretty much only leaves protein of which I'm supposed to have a maximum of 4 oz. a day... see the problem here? XD
And believe it or not, this is the *saner* version of the diet -- the first nurse I talked to was on crack, and she gave me a diet that added up to 600 calories per day, which is pretty much "you starve to death in three weeks because your body shuts down" territory. >.< At least the doctor's version is sane (1400 calories a day) if really darn hard to calculate.
If I had a choice, I'd just take the cholesterol drugs, but given the rest of the medical fun and games at the moment I haven't quite got that option, so crazy-diet-time it is. Siiigh...
