How are you? I'm not significantly over or underweight, but my nutiritionist told me that my blood work consistantly shows signs of progressing malnutrition. I eat way less now than before, and I certainly haven't lost any weight. Yes, he says my muscles have been affected - something about protein. If I could manage to eat the number of calories that I used to, I would definetly be overweight. Funny thing, my women's clinic Dr. (where I go for my physical) is always telling me I should loose weight. I'm 5'8" and 155lb. I find that so ironic coming from a woman who's job is the overall health of other women. Go figure.
Hugs, Clare
