[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in Poland for many years and had my children there.

I had a very high risk twin pregnancy and was referred to the specialist maternity hospital in Warsaw. When I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes I was assigned a nutritionist/dietician to help me manage my diet. This was free to me and covered by national healthcare. We met regularly and she explained to me what I was supposed to eat, when, and how much. I did manage to control my gestational diabetes with diet only and no insulin so it was successful.

Polish dietitians are very no-nonsense. To this day I see her in my mind's eye regularly chastising me that fancy restaurant food is terrible for you. I'd maybe been kidding myself that because it was fresh, organic, expensive, etc that it was relatively healthy. She was right though. The salt, fat, and sugar content of gourmet restaurant food is generally terrible. [/quote]

She’s right!  But most people aren’t eating at Michelin star restaurants regularly. Plus the portions are extremely small, and even so, if don’t completely finish them and it’s fine. [/quote]
