So I've struggled all my life with weight, and I would like to lose some and actually keep it off.

New doctor trying to help with that is saying all "less than 50 grams of carbs a day" with lots of good fats and protein and when I said I was on meal delivery because haha of course they took my foodstamps down to nothing once my disability got approved, the doctor said "ask for their diabetic menu; it will be much better"

and... it's not. and in fact the substitutions they made are higher in carbs than the meals I was trying to order off their regular menu.

like, this page has some of their sample meals, many of which are on their current menus

and... cookies, fruit cobblers and compotes and other things that are totally mostly sugar syrup and very little fruit. potatoes, pasta... and so on.

I might be entirely wrong, but I thought a diabetic menu would be a lot lower on high glycemic things like that.

(the meals marked with a "D" are their supposed diabetic meals)

does anyone have thoughts or suggestions?

call the doctor and say "this probably isn't what you or i thought it would be"?

Show the menu/nutition facts to dr

yeah, I plan to. it's going to be super hard to follow his diet if this is like an actual diabetic menu and not the company being cheap/spouting BS.

(the first thing I asked was if they could just... send only the stuff in the trays, and not all the cookies and extras. but no, they can't do that because it would confuse the packers)

send the extra stuff to a neighbor?

I may ask around. I know another neighbor was trying to do that, but I don't know if anybody took them up on their offer
