Avatar f tn Okay, so I'm 13 years old and weigh 169 pounds. I used to weight 182 pounds. But 169, That's overweight. When I went for my physical my doctor said that I needed to go to a nutritionist because of that . So I did. And right now, I'm exersizing on a treadmill and for like 2-3 hours a day at 3.4 speed or whatever it's called. But what I'm having trouble with is my dieting plans. Would someone give me an example for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks? Thanks.
481379 tn?1208372347 why haven't I received an answer? I want a doctor's opinion of an acidic vs alkaline body. I have been reading about this and there are many people pro alkaline and few pro acidic. I'd like a doctor's or nutritionist's opinion of this.
Avatar f tn To be on the safe side, I think I would avoid them and then I would call the local hospital and talk to their nutritionist, maybe then can give you some more insight.
Avatar n tn This is normal but you may want to as your Ob/midwife for suggestions or a referral to a nutritionist. As they can help you with small meals high in protein that can help to support the pregnancy.
Avatar f tn She was diagnosed with COPD and has lost a lot of weight. A call from her doctor said they found a nodule on her rib, but her doctor called it a spot on her lung? She is scheduled for a CT scan this week. Is there a difference between a nodule and a spot? What's the possibility of it being lung cancer?

978175 tn?1304439383 Yes, you must see your Endo as soon as possible. Hashimoto's Disease often is associated with type 1 diabetes. A sweet smelling urine, along with frequent peeing, indicates excess glucose [blood sugar] is being expelled by your kidneys. Your kidneys act as a filter. If damaged excess glucose sneaks past the leaky filter into your urine. You want to prevent further damage so a doctor is in order. Diabetes tests are in order as well as reviewing your Levothyroxine dosage.

698356 tn?1240150727 Right now I see a family physician that is a doctor of osteopathic medicine, which I love because he does integrative medicine. When thyroiditis was suspected they sent me to an endocrinologist. I'm not so sure about the endocrinologist and wondered what other types of doctors I should get opinions from. What doctors have you found helpful to get a better picture of your body being?
724724 tn?1231202010 m not holding my breath. I might just have to do as the good doctor said and see a nutritionist and a weight trainer, but I dread going to doctors and have anxiety attacks whenever I go. I can't help but fear they're going to find something else that's wrong. I know it's pathetic and they can help me but I just get so scared of going I always cancel or don't go at all.
Avatar f tn I told her that I will still keep my appointments with her and see the doctor when I have to. I gave her a feed back whenever I go see the doctor. I got the best of both worlds I guess.

Avatar f tn I am just wondering who has gone threw a midwife vs a doctor and some experiences i dont know what i want to do yet the father says he will help me threw what ever i want so ladies plz give me so input
Avatar f tn Most do. Your doctor may know of one too. Here you can get a basic understanding of how to control and manage your diabetes. 2. Are you following a type 2 diabetes diet? Along with avoiding sugar and sugary foods you need to limit your carbohydrate and starch intake as these foods quickly turn into sugar after eating. For example, potatoes, white rice, foods made with white flour - breads, crackers, etc. Eat lean meats, fish, poultry and vegetables. Avoid snacking before bedtime.
Avatar n tn Before instituting any particular diet, be sure to confer with her pediatrician and with a nutritionist. Be aware that there is a paucity of research documenting the benefit of such a diet when it is instituted for conditions involving emotions and behavior (vs, for example, peole with celiac disease). One double blind study showed no effectiveness; a small single blind study showed some effectiveness re: autictic behaviors. You will not find unequivocal support for such a diet.

Avatar n tn Thanks I heard that I just wondered how it affected pregnancy. My doctors office basically called me and told me I was diabetic this time I was hypoglycemic and that they would keep a close eye on me but didn't say anything else so I just wondered. And the last thing I want to do is google anything cuz its always worse case.
7729616 tn?1393795492 * My Vitamin B12 levels are normal according to my doctor but when the nutritionist tested me for Vitamin B12, I seem to be deficient in that, too. * She tested my "chakras" and muscle strength when getting me to hold things like dairy and wheat close to me, however I seem to have only one strong "chakra", that one being the area near my hypothalamus. So all my other "chakras" are out of whack? I don't understand.

862235 tn?1336060295 Is salmon OK or should I be sticking to leaner fishes like cod? What are the benefits of the omega fatty acids vs the restricted fat intake? Also some salmonids like Atlantic salmon are obviously fattier than others like wild Pacific salmon is this something I should consider?
Avatar m tn Other than a PCP or nutritionist, what other kind of Doctor or specialist can I go to in order to confirm or deny what I think is happening? Thank you for your help.
