Hello Seb
WOW what a massacre at the doctors!
Right I second what everyone else put and will add:
Prof. Ebringers qualifications are as follows:
Alan Ebringer B.Sc, MD, FRCP, FRACP, FRCPath., Hon FRSH.
Professor of Immunology, King's College London & Hon. Consultant in Rheumatology, UCL School of Medicine, Middlesex Hospital, London.
Phew!
Notice the "MD" bit and also that Professor trumps doctor!
You can show your Mum that Prof Ebringer is no quack that's for sure (he wears a white coat and his writing is illegible and everything!!!).
I belive that there is a period at the beginning of the diet (weeks or months) where your body needs to adjust to the new diet without starch - it needs to work harder too because there are no slow-release energy foods being consumed. It is my belief that your weight will start to even out soon and then maybe your Mum and doctors will stop panicing about your weight loss.
I've got lots more to say but don't want to overwhelm you.
Will come on again later with some more info that you might find helpful.
In addition, if there are any specific questions you would like to ask Prof Ebringer if you could - what would they be?
Take care and try not to let that doctor coax you into thinking that we are all nuts and this diet is dangerous. It is your best chance of preventing damage to your body, hon. I promise you.
