Who do you trust with your weight loss journey?

Hi, I am Cora, your Weight Loss Consultant at our Gold Coast Head Office Clinic. I recently had a consultation with a relatively new client and could not help but being flabbergasted by what she told me happened to her in the week before her meeting with me! My client – who has lost 11kg to date – had recently visited her doctor.  Of course, the topic of her weight loss came up during the appointment BUT this is where the story gets interesting.

The doctor asked her what she had been doing to lose weight:  she answered that she was doing The Natural Way weight loss program and then explained a little about how the programme worked.  Of course, as soon as the doctor found out that her patient was taking The Natural Way formulations, designed to balance the body during the weight loss process, she immediately dismissed them as being totally ‘unnecessary’ for weight loss.    

Then patient was asked what she was eating:  the patient replied that she was following a LGI eating plan.  The doctor replied, ‘What is this LGI?’ (really!).  Of course, her patient then explained the principles of Low GI and again, was immediately chastised for eating ‘too much protein’.  The doctor then proceeded to give her ‘professional’ advice regarding the best diet for weight loss.  It went something along these lines:

• Breakfast:  Toast (unlimited amounts) and jam.  Any kind of bread is fine, even WHITE
• Lunch:  Sandwich
• Dinner:  Rice or pasta with vegetables. 

She suggested that she should only eat 80g of protein per day – seriously!

This high-carbohydrate, low fat type of eating for weight loss belongs back in the dark ages.  Research has proven that a diet like this trigger’s huge insulin releases into the bloodstream, which accelerates the ‘fat storage’ process and leads to metabolic syndrome. On the other hand, Low GI eating has been recognized as one of the most effective ways to lose weight and keep it off:  https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/health-and-wellness/most-effective-weight-loss-diet-is-low-gi-20060725-gdo10x.html

Of course, I am not saying that all doctors would offer the same advice when discussing weight loss, however, I was told (not confirmed) that in the 7 years’ a person spends at university studying to become a doctor, only 3 hours is devoted to nutrition!
