Pasta

[Lovemylifeagain 4]

Im not sure if your talking to me, or about me but i was just answering based on my personal situation and what my NUT told me. For me, bread is not a trigger, so I do eat toast, rice and Pasta I chose to stay away from. I know my body and my addiction so I'm able to manage that but dismissing my advice because it doesn't match up with what "many WLS patients" indentify with isn't fair either. We are all different and I was just giving the OP my personal advice.

I think she is referring to her own advice

I didn't 'dismiss' your advice, I was commenting on your NUTs advice...chill out. I was offering additional advice.

My apologies, it's hard to read tone in messages sometimes and I wasn't sure if you were talking about my NUT or me. Misunderstanding on my part.

No worries! Written words are sometimes not as clear as we intend them to be

My daughter in law is a dietitian and states the same thing all the time, "everything in moderation". (Btw she is about 5ft 2 and weighs less than one of my legs, never stops eating and bakes cakes every weekend grrrr). Im sure they learn that saying on the first day of University and recite it every day, as a pledge until they leave. If it were that easy the diet industry wouldn't bring in billions of pounds/dollars/insert currency here, would they?

Good carbs are essential, bad carbs are not worth bothering with.

Im resisting saying anything else, we are all entitled to our opinion and long term success depends on those choices.

My husband is one of those metabolically blessed humans who can pretty much eat/drink whatever he pleases and stays within a 5 lb swing range with exercise. Being with me for 28 years has taught him that he's not disciplined as much as blessed...he's watched me struggle with yo-yo-ing up and down, trying diet after diet and watching it all come back regardless of what I do. As my college kids would say, the man is 'woke' and understands that what's a simple cup of rice for him is a food that will cause an action, a reaction and a full-blown fight for me with my genetics and metabolism. He's also an MD and I envy his patients...no simplistic 'calories in < calories out = weight loss' brush-offs from him. He GETS it
