Castle Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi, I have an issue that I hope someone has a potential solution for? I'm in my first year of college, and started a Paleo/W30 way of life part way through. So far I am on my 2nd W30 and have noticed HUGE improvements in my quality of life. Seriously life changing. While the school food tastes okay and is sourced well (meat is organic/possibly grass-fed, a lot of veggies are local), a very large portion of it contains something that I have eliminated from my diet and noticed positive effects from doing so. It is technically possible for me to eat as I need to on their plan, but it would get boring fast and not be sustainable. And I also love cooking, but the cost of cooking Paleo/W30 foods is getting to be too much. I inquired about utilizing the money that is going to waste on my meal plan for groceries, and was told that for it to even be considered I would need a letter from my doctor/dietician/nutritionist saying what I cannot eat and why. I don't currently even have a doctor, so I'd need to find someone anyway - but I have a feeling that "eat low-fat and hearty whole-grains" is what I'm going to find at a lot of places. Does anyone know how to find a doctor, dietician, or nutritionist that does believe in the general Paleo style? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators LadyM Posted May 7, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 7, 2013 Do you, by chance, go to Lawrence? A lot of my extended family lives in Appleton and Kaukauna.

Castle Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I do go to Lawrence. Small world. Thanks for the link - I took a look, and it doesn't seem like anyone in the general location listed who would be appropriate for the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
