the way your body digests food

Hello everyone!
My sister-in-law was told by her doctor to see a nutritionist because the reason she wasn't loosing weight was because she wasn't eating the right foods at the right time so to speak. The doctor told her that the way your body digests certain foods means you should eat somethings at a certain time and other at a different time. Can anyone shed some light on this? I've tried googling it and haven't found anything helpful. I've never really heard anything like this.

Her doctor is an idiot.0 -
Her doctor is not a food scientist.0

Are you sure he recommended the nutritionist for weight loss and not for some other reason (vitamin deficiency, anemia, etc)? I have not heard of eating things at certain times for weight loss, but there are foods that help or hinder each other as far as nutrient absorption goes.0

Yeah, doctors are stupid. They don't know shi*t about the human body. You should recommend to her to google it or go to wikipedia instead.0

Lol they don't know a *kitten* ton about nutrition. Thats what nutritionists/dietitians are for0 -
perhaps they were referring to the time it takes the body to break down, process and digest different macros? Protein for example takes the longest which is why it keeps you feeling full for longer.

Ignorant would have been a much more accurate word to use. The doctor's intelligence probably isn't the issue, just their lack of knowledge.

I caught it! Actually, I think it dripped off the words onto me.
Its slimy.0 -
I am hugely wary of any advice that says time of day we eat has anything to do with how much weight we lose. I just think it majorly overcomplicates things. I would follow the doctors instructions which were see a nutritionist. He didn't actually tell her when to eat what. There's a reason he recommended a specialist in the area.0

I would agree with doctors being stupid, i went to see one for help because i was having chest pains who then proceeded to tell me off for eating a salad for lunch and completely ignored my chest pain complaint.0

*headdesk*.....to docs advice, not you OP.0

Yeah, this is what I was thinking too. Perhaps the doctor is not ignorant or an idiot. Perhaps s/he just knows this person's body and medical history and is giving advice tailored to that.0 -

Some doctors are incredible idiots. In March, I went to a doctor for severe coughing (including coughing up blood), mild fever, and body aches. He told me it was just in my head and suggested counseling. 24 hours later I was in the hospital for viral bronchitis with a secondary bacterial infection in my lungs at the same time. I was in the hospital for 4 days.
Tell your friend to find another doctor.0 -
Hehe...what do you call the guy who graduates from Med School at the very bottom of his class??
Doctor!
(Sorry, OP...I just couldn't resist!)0 -

I've heard not to eat certain foods with others, but never time of day (except to not eat too close to bedtime). I'm seeing a dietician on Friday so will ask about it.0

LMAO I definitely got it.0 -
I don't see why this is so far fetched. Eating the right foods at the right time is definitely important. Eating yogurt vs icecream at midnight makes a difference in your waist line and also your weight loss struggle. Well if i chose to eat icecream in the morning or after lunch, that is all gone before i am sedentary or sleeping at night, so it's digested differently (relatively speaking) and less is stored as fat.
Same goes for all kinds of foods. It's very possible this is what the doctor was talking about. It looks like the doctor did say to see a nutritionist.0 -
my friend started a new diet... something to do with certain blood types shouldn't eat certain foods or something like that. She's lost a lot of weight on it but personally I think its just cause they changed they way they were eating. (well that and one of them is doing the hcg thing). So I'm still inclined to think its all what you eat and how much... although time does play somewhat of a factor when looking at your day... but if you are active enough it'll all even out.0

I believe I did explain why I believed that immediately after that sentence. Let me know if you have questions after you read that.0 -
