[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 746152, member: 1550"] Elsi...thats not what is recommended unless they checked in with their dotor. Many elderly are sick and dont have appetites but is that good? I likewise know many older women, and I am one, and most eat normally or more. We shouldnt give our medical advice if we have no expertise. Some people take our opinions as knowledge. I am guilty of this too! I am not a doctor so my opinion or experience may be dangerous to yours! I should say that more often. Some older people have diabetes and have to watch what they eat. Its common over 60. My ex has it. He has to watch what he eats, when he eats and what he can eat. Many elderly have special issues like this. None of us are too young anymore!!! in my opinion i rhink we should preface all advice with I am not a professional. See one before buying this.They almost always do this on YouTube. It is a very good reminder! We are giving our own opinions only. I have studied eating disorders in detail because they run in my family and are in my opinion interesting AND scary.
