Well you should cut down on those biscuits
@Wonko. They are full of who knows what like sugar that give you diabetes, palm oil which kills orangutans, and E numbers that gives you cancer...and if you have them with bacon then...well you only have yourself to blame!
The only exception is garibaldi’s because they have currants in them so that’s natural sugar and much better for you.
I just found it annoying and patronising.
I'm not, always, stupid. I identified foods that were likely to be a problem a very long time ago, and part from the odd treat day, or when I am incapable of doing anything else, I simply don't buy them - because most of them are foods I have control issues with, if I have them I will eat them.
I even point out grievous errors in their fact sheets - they don't, for example, seem to realise that all carbs, even complex carbs, get turned into sugars as soon as they are digested (complex carbs just take a little longer to digest, that's all), and if blood glucose is too far out of whack this can be unhelpful, and still lead to the blood sugar roller coaster.
So advising diabetics to eat brown (not even wholemeal) bread, bought from a supermarket (upto 2 tsp of sugar a slice plus being mainly carbs) is just IMO wrong, at least advise people to make their own wholemeal, which has no added sugar. Tell them that carbs are an issue, it's not just sugars.
Telling them to fill up on starchy veg like potatoes, is wrong, potatoes have little nutritional value once you get past the skin. Fill up on veg, even the NHS does not class potatoes a veg nutritionally (i.e. it's not one of your 5 a day).
That sort of thing - drives me nuts that they don't know this stuff and still call themselves dieticians, and get paid for it.
They don't listen, they don't think, they just parrot out the matra scripted 50 odd years ago before some of this stuff was known.
.....and then to write the report in such a way to suggest I am living off nothing but foods I don't actually eat. That's not just unhelpful, it's misleading and dishonest. It's justifying their job when they are clearly totally hopeless at it.
Grrrrr!!!!!!
ETA - so properly trained dieticians and nutritionists, I'm all in favour of that, the NHS needs at least some of them. Maybe if they had some, more people might be successfully treated for things like IBS.
I've seen no evidence that the NHS has any, and stopped asking to see any, or accepting 'invitations' to see one, quite while ago, after having seen ones every year or so for years, always with the results described above.
