Im 150lb and want to lose 20lb. I have been to a dietician and she insists my protein requirement is 48g, carbs 125g and refused to talk about fat content. I have done several searchers and my protein requirement to lose weight is 130g approx. I would welcome your assistance and help.

    46-48g protein a day is the minimum recommended daily amount to avoid malnutrition issues

    Hi All,
    Dietician basically said it was my hormones. Any advice?

    Are you polycystic, or is it menopause, or,?, there are a lot of threads by people with health issues, so if you use the search function on the forums you may find someone with similar issues

    She had no results to base her comment. I have a blood test organised for tomorrow.

    Hi - this must be so frustrating for you. I see a hormone doctor regularly - it does make a difference to my life. I also know that too much soy is not my friend it makes me put on weight and be cranky.

    Are you saying they have diagnosed an unspecified hormonal condition based on no results or tests and because of that want to put on on the absolute bare minimum of protein?
    And a dietitian also won't discuss fat at all with their client?

    This is sounding very weird!
    Have you checked their qualifications?

    I'm not a runner but based on what you have said so far I would run away.....
