I would not listen to this dietician or go back for a second visit. I would try a very low carb ketogenic diet. I highly recommend the book The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance by Phinney and Volek. Real science by scientists that study this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Art-Science-Lo...tephen+phinney

Its what I teach medical students to control weight, especially for type ii diabetics and insulin resistant patients. It puts your body in a hormonal state that favors fat burning. Once u become fat adapted, u will burn you body fat stores when u cycle.
