What is wrong with this diet? Hypoglycemic cutter?

[kaorialfred]

This is a female, who sent me this. I don't understand much about hypoglycmics. I'm also not asking for advice on how someone with hypoglycimia should eat.

Yet somehow this doesn't look to healthy to me. The chick is trying to lose weight.
I'm posting this just for opinions. I have already sent her a reply to see her dietician. Again being as how this is a serious medical condition. I am asking for opinions as I read up more on what and how hypo affects weight. This female is soon to be married and I would suspect this it the diet for the wedding.

Thanks for the input and shedding some ligh on this in advance.

I just think that this a little bit much in terms of BAD FOOD Choices. AM I wrong?









Breakfast-
Planet Living Protein Shake (with sugar free Jello powder mix and flax seeds)

Snack-
Hard boiled egg white (1/2 of yolk)

Lunch-
large salad with Protein (either 4 oz chix or 2 oz chix and 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese)
Sweet Potato

Snack (pre-workout)
Yogurt (low sugar) with Protein source
or apple/peach with protein source

Dinner-
Egg White Omlete or Large Fish/Chicken Salad with low fat/FF dressing
Sometimes: Spaghetti Squash with the above

Snack-
SF Jello or SF Pudding
*when have sugar craving put in animal cookie into SF pudding

Alcohol-
2x per week 1-2 glasses red wine or 1-2 light beers

SNACK PROBLEMS-
(Main times are just before dinner and after dinner, work day is structured for most part)...

* Peanut butter (steve has now succesfully hidden this, so im pretty good)
* Sunflower seeds/nuts- (getting a little better, not buying for home, but am snacking on almonds at work on occasion)
* Pretzels
* Whole Grain Wheat Thins

Workouts- (consistent schedule)

* 5-6 days cardio (30-50 minutes per time) spinning/elipitcal
* Weights 3x (back/bic-ch/tri-legs)
* Occasional Pilates
* Abs (4x per week)



* on occasion snacking on cookies (small butter cookies with hole in middle) but its not excessive and is really not problem.

yep.. pretty pitiful diet lol

and we know nothing about her other than she is a hypo and wants a fad diet for her upcoming wedding.

This is the first email I got from her:

Here's my story:

Ya, im hypo, pretty bad.. to where i had black out spells etc.. and
had to go on strict diet after i found out..that was about 6 years
ago.

For about 4 years, i have eaten 900-1200 calories on most days..
working out with weights at least 3 days a week, doing pilates and
alternative workouts if i have extra time, and always doing 4-6 days
of 30-45 min cardio...
Even when i travel for work, i workout in the hotel gyms and go for walks..
I didnt know that it could mess your body up restricting calories when
i started eating that small of an amt. of calories.. i happenend when
i started a mostly desk job so i cut calories to make up for the
walking i was no longer doing on college campus. i just thought "oh,
well i guess i should cut calories and that will help me not gain
weight"... then i would go through phases where i would eat high fat
stuff for a few days or have a holiday weekend out of town and would
easily gain weight.. so then i would restrict calories again.. just a
cycle..
This went on for a few years, ranging from 127-138 in weight at 5 ft
8. between 15% and 20% bf..

then started on the beverly program this November with a new diet plan
and that increased my calories to 1500-1600 or so.. all clean.. when i
started on that, i was 15% bf.. i leaned out for a while on BEV, then
went through christmas where i still watch calories but indulge in the
occasional dessert etc.. and put on a few lbs nothing big... then my
thinking went back to "oh, i should cut calories to drop it" but that
didnt work, instead whatever small cheat day i did have, would
immediately seem to cause weight gain.. and i ended up 8lbs heavier
than where i want to be... all while eating 1000-1200 calories a day
and doing this workout every week: weights 3-4 times(i also always
vary my types of excercises), cardio 5-6 days (including spinning and
elliptical most days), yoga 1-2 days a week. Gaining fat on that
doesnt seem right, my only thought is 'starvation mode' holding onto
any bit of fat i was eating.. I keep a food log and everything.. I eat
the same breakfast, snacks and lunch every day... i dont eat out for
lunch or breakfast, and rarely for dinner..
My cheat days would be something like: normal breakfast, normal
everything (oatmeal and egg whites, protein shake snack, salad with
meat for lunch) except i will eat nuts or peanut butter for a treat or
have an icecream..... Or maybe if we eat out, i have bread or tortilla
chips with dinner and wine.. but i always get lean meats with veggies
for dinner becuase of my hypo..never fried stuff..


Sorry for not posting more info. I don't talk to this person often enough. We are in different states. So that's about it on the info. The chronological orderer is the second post is here first inquiry to me, and the topic of this thread is what I received in my in box.
I don't claim to know nothing about HYPO or diets so that's why I'm glad I can get some opinions here. Thanks.

yeah I'm sorry. Wow your a vet now? Cool beans. I haven't had time to even look around the board anymore. I'm in full time school now for Physical Therapist Assitant.
That's pretty cool you made vet!!!!. I can recall reading some of your post last year that helped me out a lot in the other forums.

So she's a female and I'm sorry I don't really have anymore stuff about her other than she's white, looks kinda pettie, carrys most of her weight in her hips and thighs. Doesn't even really have any upper body fat at all really. I think the calories are a way off.

Thanks bro.. yea haven't seen you in a bit, glad you're back around.

Honestly with her medical condition I'd recommend first she go to a doctor or dietician who specializes in writing diets for his condition or for her to educate herself on the matter.. Just as a diabetic knows what they can/can't eat etc.. Dieticians get paid good money to write diets for ppl like her, that's where I'd send her.
