yeah - this is what I was pointing out - my grandfather has had two heart attacks and lives on the diet your nutritionalist tried to put you on.

My mom and dad and my brother were heading towards heart attack central and went on a modified diet where you cut out white bread/pasta, and went with the "Does it grow in a field? No? well then don't eat much of it cause that's bad." Which meant steel cut oats for oatmeals, long grain and wild rice, wheat pastas, and other substitutions. Increasing lean protien (found in dairy as well as meat), and eating every two hours so that the hunger bug doesn't drive you nuts. They also gave them a huge list of spices and herbs to use for flavor. When eating sushi, they just take out a lot of the rice as they eat.

My diet is modified off of that, and it works for me. This diet sounds too extreme and unlivable. Maybe the next appointment she'll address the blandness, and moderation. If she doesn't, I'd find a new nutrionalist.
