To preface, this dietitian was recommended by my doctors office when I asked them for suggestions because I wanted the accountability. Also, I am a 29 year old 6’7” male at almost 400lbs.
Okay so, I’m the first meeting what i told her was that I need to help with my diet because I have struggled with weigh my whole life and want something that I can take and follow for the rest of my life. I was excited after that first meeting to get the plan. A week later I get my instructions from her and what she has put together is so strict and feels like was not made for someone my size at all. It feels like something that was made for herself
Here are the rules she gave - note all of her “servings” are less than what any of the serving sizes on the packaging is:
-up to 2 servings of grains per day (serving is 1/2 cup cooked) - up to 1 starchy vegetable per day - up to 2 beans/legume servings per day (1/2 cup serving) - at least 2 non starches per day - at most 3 servings of fruit a day - at most 4 servings of healthy fat a day. - no more than 2 servings of lean protein a day, and it has to be wild caught, pasture raised, grass fed, etc. - no calorie goal, just “follow this exactly and you’ll lose weight” - no cheat meals
She also gave me extremely specific brands she wants me to buy and only eat those, even though they are at least twice the price of generic.
After a couple of days following this, 1) I’m starving, 2) I haven’t been able to hit more than 1700 calories and 3) I’m driving myself insane trying to find the products she wants me to use. I would just stop but I’ve already paid for 7 sessions with her.
I know this just seems like I’m just complaining/ranting but has anyone else run into this issue before? I feel like nobody other than fitness influencers eat like this every single day and it seems she just copied and pasted her every day diet and gave it to me
