    No I did not misunderstand the Dr. I even wrote it all down what she told me to do.

    But do you understand what we are saying?

    Fruits and vegetables are made of carbs. If your doctor told you to give up all carbs, and then told you to eat fruits and vegetables, then he or she doesn't understand even the most basic principles of nutrition.

    The Dr said to cut them out ENTIRELY! :/ And no there is no medical reason, that is what I was told to do. I did ask if it was possible to see a dietician but the answer was no! :( And I'm Gluten Free because I was diagnosed as a Coeliac 5 years ago. Thank you all for your ideas and replies - much appreciated.

    Seek the advice of a new doctor. With no medical reason that's just not intelligent advice to give a patient in my book. It may be that the doctor simply doesn't have the knowledge to recommend a diet that is both gluten free and would help you lose weight. Maybe a dietician? That just boggles the mind.

    Yes, any doctor who told me to give up all carbs, and then told me to eat fruits and vegetables, would have lost all credibility with me and I would never see them again.

    Today for a fast lunch I steamed 200g of cauliflower in my microwave for 6 minutes and then ran it through the food processor until it was riced. Then I cooked 100g of shrimp with celery, mushrooms, green onion, ginger, garlic and a tiny touch of soy sauce in a small frying pan, added the cauli rice and then stirred through 3 egg whites and garnished with red chili. Cauliflower shrimp egg fried rice in 10 minutes and 180 calories :)
