I actually had a registered nutritionist who put me on a diet similar to the one you just got put on. One day I looked at the books on her shelf, and I realized one of them was Barry Sears' "The Zone". I flipped through it in the bookstore, and...yep...that was exactly it. It was effective, but it also made me INSANE.
Last year, before my dad was diagnosed as terminal, I was doing an experimental nutritional program with Mass General Hospital. When I stuck to it, it worked pretty well. They told me to cut down on my carbs - less white rice, more brown rice - less pasta, more European style breads (the kind Quinn hates, the kind I pointed out to Liz in the grocery store - it's made by Mestemacher). When I was sticking to it, not only did it work, but my body felt better. I'm trying to shift back to that now. But the whole point of the diet was that nothing was forbidden; it was just that some things should be taken in smaller portions.
Frankly, from what you've said, my gut instinct says to ditch the bitch. Or look on her bookshelf and see if she's got either The Zone or The Atkins Diet hidden there.
