Donna,
My nutrionalist says my BMI is perfect for my frame but she is concerned that I still dropped three pounds. i eat as much and as often as I can but she said that since I have to drink so much water with each bite that I wasn't getting the nutrion she thinks I need. My mom suggested that I drink an ensure or boost with my meals instead of water. I haven't tried it yet I will tomorrow though. Think that would help your mom? just wondering.Brenda
