He's right about everything but the potatoes. Do some research. People can LIVE exclusively on potatoes, they are so power packed with nutrition. (Just leave off the fat and protein adornments and use salsa for flavoring.) To lose weight, cholesterol, and sickness, check out Dr. McDougall's homepage and eat all you want of the right foods. It is liberating! I've lost 75 pounds while eating all I want. We get protein even from lettuce. Our problem in America is that we consume TOO much protein and thus get all the sicknesses associated with it. We have a fetish with protein in this country-- we truly worship our "sacred cows" which is WHY we have so much cancer, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, and osterporosis. Learn the truth about nutrition from someone who isn't benefiting from your dollars.

For myself loosing 50 lbs YEARS ago and keeping it off was a little balancing act.
1.Are you writing down your calories? depending on your weight and activity maybe you are not eating enough or a few to many.
2. Do you salt things (or eat salty things)
3. Do you exersize daily for 30 min. or 60. I had to go from just treadmill for 30 to adding some resistance training. That broke the plateau
4. Are you eating more carbs then vegies. My husband was a big bread and rice eater. We had to cut it down to 3-4 carbs a day
5. Do you dring as much water as you think you do? Our bodies are made of mostly water. Our liver and kidneys depend on it and IF you don't dring enough losing weight will be VERY difficult.
We eat dinner at 4pm (we get up at 4am) and no food after 6pm for us.
We always have yogurt on hand. A big varity of it.

Get a second opinion from a Nutritionist! Your doctor sounds wrong.

I strongly urge you to try a pair of Crocs shoes. They are very comfortable. I am a large woman and I have a job where I'm on my feet a lot, but since I started wearing Crocs, my feet just don't hurt even at the end of a busy day.
