The common thing we all share with doctors is the human condition.
If you get on ok with your gp practice then there's not much to worry about.
If there is any doubt in doctor advice then discuss with the Dr.
They will probably even offer help of guidance for their patient to research too.
Doctors are scientists. (Good doctors are scientists).
Don't get into a fight with your GP. |
There are some good doctors out there, I'll agree with that. However I find some of what you're saying contradictatory.

I'm not saying you should pick a fight with your doctor, I'm saying you shouldn't implicitly trust what they're saying. |

Not dieting as such , just trying to be a bit more sensible about what I eat and now much I eat.
Lost a bit of the extra belly, ie I don’t look pregnant anymore , so I’m doing okay.
The problem is that I have no muscle tone underneath this wobbly exterior
Not a good look but I don’t care.
Losing a bit of weight has helped with my agility/mobility and with a bit of exercise it will help with my physical endurance.
We are not talking competitive athlete here, more like being able to get up the stairs without puffing ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Not on a diet per se. I've never really been over 60kg in my life. However, I have been a major sweetie fiend, and due to health issues decided to do something about it. So from 1st June to 24th December I went completely sugar-free, apart from natural occurring sugars in fruit and carbs.
It was difficult, not only because of the cravings, but because of my original enforced wheat, egg, dairy-free dietary requirements - I had to eliminate so much food including gluten-free bread, crackers, crisps that also have added sugar - I mean c'mon!!
Anyway I managed 6months completely free...and then allowed myself cake and stuff over the festive period. However, I am shocked at how little sugary items I could actually tolerate...I have found that I barely want much sugar at all.
When I bake now, I use a splodge of either honey or rice malt syrup and sometimes I don't bother at all. I use cinnamon powder to sweeten porridge. The only sugars I tend to have these days are in free-from bought bread, soya cream, crisps and crackers. ____________________ Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind - Dr. Seuss |

I get the sugar free thing.
I’m not quite there as far as you Ms Clanger, nor do I intend to take it nearly that far.
However all that sugar in so much of the things we buy to eat makes me think yuk!
As for honey always have some in the house.
I put a drop in my tea now and again if I’m having a sweet tooth moment. ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Can't seem to get rid of the last bit of flab, but have got some good muscle tone underneath it now, and noticeably more muscle bulk. Think I might even be a T2 diabetic, plus the limitations from all the old injuries, and wish I could afford a better diet. But pretty happy with where I'm at, all things considered. It's all something to do. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

So being skint, my diet has changed considerably anyway, and turns out many of the things I have switched to are the healthiest options. I wish fresh fruit and veg wasn't so expensive though.
Much less sugar and fat now, and I crave it less and less, only weak points being chocolate digestive biscuits (which at least I don't tend to cane like other biscuits), and sugar in coffee.
I don't worry too much about animal fats in meat, eggs, milk so much, as some fat is a requirement - more concerned about sugar intake, and refined carbs generally. But I reckon I've got a pretty decent balance, considering my limited means. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Switch to honey - ordinary runny honey makes coffee/tea taste a bit different, flavoured honey can make it taste different again, but you soon get used to it.
I used to be a three sugars guy, now even half a spoon of white sugar doesn't taste right. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........
