I went and saw my nutritionist today and I was so happy. I lost 5 lbs in two weeks but the part I was scared for was I was sick and doctor put me on steroids to get me well. The steroids made me want to munch and munch. I also had a very sore throat so some blizzards were involved so I was happy for a 5 lb loss in two weeks. Her and I were talking and she suggested we should take a field trip to the grocery store so she can really reach me what I should be eating and not. I don't know about other people but they tell you what you should stick to for guidelines and I get to the store and sometimes get overwhelmed. I will let you all know how my fieldtrip goes!

Wow, that sounds both really helpful and also a little intimidating! I agree though that it can be a bit overwhelming to get to the store and have to make decisions on what to buy so that you can eat right for the next week. I try to plan our menu and then prepare a shopping list. Doing most of my cooking from a cookbook for bandsters at the moment, so that is helping, too.

Good luck.

The nutritionalist at my doctors office has a field trip to the grocery store every couple months.

I think the field trip idea is great for people who arent confident in what to buy and cook and eat, go for it , sounds like your nutritionist is on the ball
