    My nutritionist gets frustrated with this. Doctors take MAYBE on session in nutrition and then think they can give out advice. As long as you are seeing a registered dietitian/nutritionist they have had years of training AND passed a certification exam. I say go with her.

    I agree! I have spent some time working as a dietitian in a diabetes clinic and the senior dietitian holds training sessions for the Drs (including endocrinologist specialists) because their knowledge about the dietary management of diabetes is lacking.

    OP go with the nutritionist/dietitian because the advice you have been given is sound.

    Also congrats on your loss so far!
