    Fermentation means rotting. Things cannot rot in your stomach. Well, they can, just not when you're alive. So I guess if you're planning on dying and not being found for a while, and fruit rotting in your stomach is a concern, then I would skip the fruit. Otherwise, eat fruit.

    That your dietician thinks food can rot in your stomach is REALLY concerning. Is she really a dietician or is she a "dietician" in a gym? I bet she also tells you junk like how calories at night make you fat but calories in the day don't. Replace her!

    if it's true then someone had better call the zoo and warn all the other primates not to eat fruit either.....

    Well, I have lost a few pounds, and have been eating fruit from the very beginning. Two servings every day, sometimes three.

    You may want to ask your dietician about this again. Maybe you misunderstood? Otherwise, find someone else to guide you.

    Sounds like your dietician is into the "food combining" school. They have lots of rules about what should and shouldn't be eaten for health effects and meal preparation. However, certain diets (like some paleo versions) do suggest dropping fruit for quicker weight loss.

    I was just about to say this. It may be a food combo plan that your dietician is attempting. I did one many, many years ago where I did not mix my breads/potatoes with my meats in the same meal. A 'new' study had shown that the enzymes that break down bread/grains counteract the enzymes that break down protein and cancel each other out. It worked for me, I lost 20 lbs. Unfortunately, when I tried again many years later, it did not work. Perhaps ask your dietician for evidence/studies showing the effectiveness of this plan or where s/he got their info so you can research it yourself.

    Yes. This was a big deal many years ago. My mom made everyone eat this way for awhile swearing that it would improve our health and help us lose weight. All I remember was losing my mind because it made it very difficult to plan meals and eat with any sense of normalcy. I also never bought into the whole fermenting thing. As long as your fruit fits into your macros and you have no legitimate health reason to not eat them I say eat and enjoy!!

    Well!!!...my first reaction to looking at this list is think "crikey!! poor you"...then I had another look and thought "ok, there is the makings of some fine meals"... honey, you just need a bit of knowledge when it comes to cooking and a tincey amount of imagination, both of which you should easily find either thru recipe books or recipe sites on line. Good luck :-)

    This person you saw is either guilty of ridiculous malpractice or isn't a dietitian.

    What is this persons actual title?

    I disagree with this, unless the reason for the strictness of the diet is a medical need to lose weight as quickly as possible. Other than fat found in the meats, there aren't any fats listed, besides the lack of fruit problem.

    I mean the persons title. Is he an RD? Does the sign on the door say dietitian, or nutritionist, or something else?

    I wonder what the reasoning is behind powdered skim milk (heinous) being allowed, but no other dairy.

    Exactly. I knew it.

    Dietitians have years of schooling and require a professional license. They don't deal in this nonsense "found it in a magazine or on Google" kind of diet.

    Referring to this uneducated, unqualified person as a dietitian is very wrong.

    Forget everything this person told you because it's lies and BS.

    Wasn't that a huge red flag to you?

    Fruit is good. Eat fruit. Focus on calories first. Log accurately, get enough fat and protein, eat fruit and veggies, and forget the rest.

    Well, if he makes you feel bad then you have your own answers. I have no idea of what you have to lose, maybe you went to see him because you have an awful lot of weight to lose? It is often harder to start losing when very over weight, maybe the diet he recommends is designed for people who have a lot to lose...who knows...but if you dont like it it..dont do it...simple as that... wishing you all the best xx

    Yeah...refer to a registered dietitian-or at least someone with legitimate qualifications.
    Dietitians deal with weight loss as well as a range of other physical ailments (high blood pressure, diabetes, celiac, etc)...they also do more advanced clinical work like TPN and tube feeding...they go through years of clinical, sports, community and managerial dietetic work....there are specific regulations for becoming an RD and even a clinical nutritionist.

    Just make sure your physician refers you to someone next time.

    Hogwash. Horse Hockey. Bull. BS. Pick a term, any term.

    I've had a few dieticians over the course of the last few years, and none of them have made any comments like that. They advocate fruit and veggies.

    I went to a dietitian once. As she sat across from me, it was hard to take her seriously since she was obese. As long as it fits within your calorie intake for the day, you can eat it!

    When I was first having a really hard time with losing weight, my MIL told me it's OBVIOUSLY because I eat too much fruit and should consider cutting it (and all carbs) completely. It turns out that I was over-eating by not weighing and has NOTHING to do with fruit. She's crazy pro-Atkins, I just take the things she says now with a grain of salt, smile and nod and eat fruit.

    This is neither here nor there, I'll agree with everyone else and get rid of the dietitian, fruit isn't the enemy. :)

    Stop it you guys. it's "dietitian," not "dietician."

    You are correct but you're fighting a losing battle. I think some places are just giving up and accepting "dietician". Another example of the decline of western civilization. :laugh:
