LOW CARB DIETITIAN
- Went back to school in her mid-30s to become a dietitian after being a court reporter for many years
- She didn’t used to eat low carb, although she did always eat a lot of veggies
- Once she went low-carb, she started eating meat again as well
- Went to Cal State Long Beach
- She didn’t used to eat low carb, although she did always eat a lot of veggies
- She learned a lot about chemistry and biochemistry and how food is absorbed
- Did not learn about actual diets until the very end
- She realized that what she learned about metabolism and what diets she learned to prescribe were very different
- She was taught that low fat and whole grains are good
- That did not make sense with the metabolic processes
- She was taught that low fat and whole grains are good
- Realized that people were gaining weight from that recommended diet, and people could not get off of medications
- Once she and her husband got life insurance, she realized her blood sugar was higher than she’d like (near diabetic), and then dove into the world of low carbs
- Did her own research and realized brown rice and ‘healthy food’ shot her blood sugar straight up
- She has found great success helping diabetics, those with metabolic syndrome, and those with PCOS through a low carb diet
- Carb restricted diet containing a good amount of fat has amazing results for everyone, especially those with issues controlling blood sugar
- Began a private practice
