Her only recommendation was to not worry about consumption of healthy carbohydrates. She in fact recommends 40-50% of my calories to come from carbohydrates as they are critical for functioning of the body and cautioned me against trendy high protein diets that wreck havoc on the body. She says I am consuming more than enough proteins for my size and weight and not to worry about. She said since I appear to have metabolic sensitivity to fats and hereditary high cholesterol, to try to limit fat intake to 30-40% of my calories. She said one egg a day with egg whites would be a good strategy and to keep eating high fiber foods to help bring down cholesterol levels.
Overall positive session.
