Have I mentioned I have the coolest doctor EVAR?

So I went to see my doctor last Tuesday.  I had not had a physical in three years.  I figured now was a good time.  I go for my mammograms and paps in a different department.  I leave my primary care responsible for my occasional raynaud's freak out or...what the hell is that thing on my back?!  A freckle you say...well thank you.

He came in the room and sat down.  You are here for a physical?  I said yep.  He said okay well I read your chart.  Before the weight loss we ran a bunch of tests.  They were all low.  Low HDL, LDL, cholesterol, BP, your sugars tend to be low and high.  Thyroid fine.  The only thing that was high was your weight and your anxiety levels.

He said he would order the test again and see what has changed.  I said would it bake your noodle if all my test came back looking sh***?!  He said nope...I'm actually half expecting it.  He said he's seen people who came in overweight and unhealthy improve their numbers after losing 10% of there weight.  He has seen people come in overweight and healthy come back after losing 10% and their blood pressure and cholesterol was a mess.  Not sugars.  Those stayed low with the weight loss.  I said why do you think that is?  He said "I believe everyone has a certain set point.  A place where their body is most healthy...if that number is higher than the BMI standard then its high, but if you are healthy at that weight and not healthy when you go below that weight that is something to really think about."

I said I believe when someone goes on a diet and they plateau that I think that is your body saying...STOP...this is where I'm supposed to be.  I think that is why getting past the plateau is such a struggle.  It's you fighting...you!  He said he had never thought of that and that it sounded very logical.

He then said the better question for you is what will it do to your noodle if your numbers come back looking shi***?  I said I'm not going to gain weight for that.  I would ask you if you could refer me to a nutritionist.  Maybe the way I'm keeping my weight off is unhealthy.  I'm doing low carb you know.  That's very controversial.  He said low carb was fine and if he sent me to a nutritionist they would most likely put me on some kind of meal plan with limited complex carbs.

He's pretty cool.
