[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can afford it, OP, I highly recommend working with a nutritionist. They can provide really tailored advice to you. It's not that the advice on here is necessarily bad (I myself follow a Michael Pollan-type approach to eating) but a specialist can help you assess your particular habits and suggest changes that are sustainable for you.[/quote]

A dietician should be covered by an ACA complaint health insurance plan.  Mine is with a $20 copay. And it was also covered 20 years ago, before the ACA, when I talked to one during my 2 nd pregnancy (my first one was very hard and although I did not have gestational diabetes, my OB felt excess carbs might have played a role). You might need a referral, depending on your plan.  But what PCP is going to refuse a referral to a dietician?  It’s an easy, non-medication way to improve your health in a variety of ways. There is no downside if you see someone legit (big downside if you see someone pushing fad diets and expensive supplements. If your PCP balks, it’s time to find a new PCP.

I’ve lost almost 90 pounds in a year with a bariatrician and dietician and GLP-1. And very little of it is muscle mass, because I’m being instructed to do 120 of strength training a week and am eating lots of protein and nutrient dense food. I could not have pulled this off, even with the meds, without good, ongoing, nutrition advice. [/quote]

120 of strenth training per week - does this mean 1 hr 20mins? I dont think it does.

Good job[/quote]
