Ah, yup.

My friend James White, a 50-year diabetic, referred to food as fuel.

Ingesting food that will work for and with one’s body adds complexity to the simple equation. Good luck!

See, being a cat co-habiter, I read that expression as “Food — You need to give it to me or you won’t live.”

But it sounds like your nutritionist has potential to be a good partner in health.
