migzii, I am shocked that my new nutritionist knows so little about how to help me for my osteo! I think maybe my referral was about how to eat right now that I've lost 200# in the last few years (deliberately, needed it!). Unfortunately I did it on a very low calorie diet and only now just learned that low cal diets are the worst thing ever for osteo! Oy vei. Now I'm trying to reverse my osteo w/ foods and supps. Take good care, Sunnyflower @catharbert

@sunnyflower I too am doing the best I can with diet. I read a while back that many people do not realize that protein is as important as calcium! People with osteoporosis should actually get more protein than the normal recommended amount. Bones are half protein.

I wish I was better at noting the source of things, but I do generally only give credence to real medical sources. I also read just in the last week that senior citizens generally are not getting enough protein and those who do have a lower chance of dementia! I have added Fairlife 2% milk to my diet. I did it initially because it is lactose-free and I recently developed lactose intolerance. After purchasing it I discovered that it also has more calcium and protein than typical 2% milk too. I try to drink a glass or two of that a day too. I did try a protein drink they produce too, it has 30% of the required protein, but it was a bit too sweet for me.
