Nope, you got to guess.
Juju, you are the biggest instigator over this food thing, you now have me thinking about planting veggies.
Just think how much garden you could have on the roof of your straight truck

I really believe bread is the culprit... made several loaves of home made bread when Ken was home and we both gained some weight. Now another stint of no bread and it'll come right back off. Fresh fruit and veggies really do ya a lot of good too...some days I'll just fry up a squash fritter and that'll be it for lunch or supper.

They send them to me, no ordering. I got a couple already, marked what I want and will wait until the others arrive to order.
You coming over to turn over the garden for us seeing you are causing so much trouble.

This is stating the obvious and it was pointed out to you by Nutrisystem right at the bottom of the Nutrsystem order form where it states:
Important Health Information
You may not use a Nutrisystem program if you are (a) pregnant, (b) nursing, (c) under 18 years of age, (d) anorexic or bulimic, or (e) allergic to peanuts. Nutrisystem is a portion-controlled, low-fat, reduced calorie comprehensive weight loss program. The required dose of medications can be affected by change of diet or weight loss. Your physician may need to reduce your medications due to changes in your diet or weight loss while on this program. Please consult your physician before beginning a Nutrisystem program, or any other weight loss program. Please be sure to eat all the food that is recommended on the Nutrisystem program. Failure to follow the program protocol and eat all of the food recommended may involve the risk of developing serious health complications
Okay, then I will just discuss it by myself and if you have any comments please feel free.
Any decent licensed dietician or nutritionist should understand the food intolerance issues that you describe. Food intolerance is very prevalent and is often confused with food allergies. There are many who specialize in special circumstance diets and can utilize a good elimination type diet to zero in on the best plan for you. I would encourage you to keep looking for one with that specialty.I personally have an intolerance to many fruits so I have eliminated both fruits and processed sugar from my diet with good results. FYI- A red bell pepper has more vitamin C than an orange and broccoli is also a good source of C and other phytonutrients
This is an area that confuses many people. Medical doctors do not receive adequate training in diet and nutrition from medical school and really are not qualified to give advise in this area unless they have additional training. The reason it is always advisable to see your physician before embarking on a new diet is because it is assumed that the Doctor will at least have the knowledge of how a particular dietary change might effect your medications and your condition and inform you of any changes needed.
The fact the dieticians are not medical doctors does not make them less qualified to advise someone regarding nutrition it actually makes them better qualified. As a matter of fact many doctors would rather refer you to a dietician than to advise you in an area outside of their expertise.
Nutrisystem does not have any medical doctors on staff. They receive input from two medical doctors who are on their advisory board and conduct research in their specialties of Bariatrics and Obesity. The doctor on staff is a Ph.D. I cannot help but suspect that there is some embellishment along with some internet literary license taking place here
Good luck in overcoming your challenges if you so desire and congratualations to all the drivers who have made the commitment to improve their health!

Humble,
Thanks for not jumping all over my comments.
I understand what training a dietitian receives, and I understand that of the doctor, but this is not a nutritional issue, it is a medical issue because we are talking about reactions of food intake of people with specific diseases and under doctors care.
What I mean is that even though some can or can't have certain foods, the doctor is the profession whom has to understand the disease, much of the interaction with his/her patients and how to treat them medically. The dietitian is part of the chain of care but not the authority for the patient. The other chain in the link of patient care is the pharmacist who should understand the drug interaction and how to prevent problems and promote the effectiveness of the drug.
With Nutisystems, there are far more educated people who are questioning their effectiveness and claims, again not saying it is a bad thing but just seems to be misrepresented.
