Bread is not low carb

Potatos are not low carb😉

Ok the swelling IS going down a bit.. my hands dont look as bad and my feet
look less puffy I think.

The other thing was that I have low blood presure (116/60) so I have to
watch for dizziness with the water pills. Also my grandmother said I need
to get mor potassium in but the dr did not mention it... I know I know
Bananas are not low carb

hmmmm... interesting. good luck with achieving your goal!

What do they do with it? Tell us more. Is it kinky?

Sounds like you need a different doctor more than you need a different diet.
Jumping to such a conclusion without asking you exactly what you eat on
Atkins is not indicative of a thorough, reasoned approach.

My doctor suggested that I do a low carb diet like Atkins. She did do a
potassium check on me the last time I went in cause I was retaining a little
water and my bp was slightly elevated but much less than what it was 25
pounds ago. My doc did say I could eat fruit - but to stay away from the
high carb fruits like bananas. She said if I decide I want to eat bread
that whole grain is fine. She was pleased with the weight loss and said to
continue what I was doing. One to two pounds a week is healthy loss. I do
have to watch what I eat because I have problems with low blood sugar and
when my sugar drops - it is so hard to stay away from carbs - so I have to
try and maintain a constant level of bg. Whole grain breads and beans are
good for that - for me. My doc did put me on hydrochlorathiazide - a
diaretic (sp) which should keep the bp down. At least I don't have to take
the real bp meds anymore - thanks to low carb. 🙂

My doctor would say to your doctor "You're full of [censored] Doc" Ask all
the people who post in here who has suffering kidneys! LOL I live on
protein. I live on pureed meat, cottage cheese, an occasional few bites
of beans, a smidgeon of applesauce and sugar free drinks. I'm
absolutely fine. In my situation not enough protein will cause water
retention.

i think the baked ones will hang on more snugly... :-)))

excessive sodium intake? Not enough water consumption? menstrual period
coming?. If you are eating deli meats they are loaded. Try pure meats
like chicken and pork. Get all your carbs from veggies and remember
dressing and mayo is loaded with salt too. Try eating meats cooked in
olive oil and lightly buttered veggies for a couple days. Generally if
you dont have a serious underlying condition like congestive heart
failure your body will turn loose of the excess water. Try increasing
your water intake. My trainer told me I should up my water to 100 plus
ounces a day.
Tori, there must be a tweak of some sort that triggers you to lose the
water. Is it severe or just puffy fingers? Are your feet swollen? Ever
thought about finding a LC friendly doc? I have a doc who doesnt
advocate it for all his obese patients but he did support me when I did
it pre op. I now have to do it post op in order to lose. It is hard to
do low carb low fat, puree! I worry more about the LC and puree and
dont watch the fat as close but I do have to be a bit careful as the
part of my intestine that was bypassed was the part that processed fats
and sugars. I can hardly wait to eat solids as LC/ low fat will be
easier then.

The puffiness is in my fingers and toes and ankles and up my calf to about
my knee. I thought for sure I would be down today since I spent most of the
day on the potty but I wasnt.
I have tried:

Increasing Water
Decreasing Water
Flax
White Tea
Flax + white tea (this actualy helped with the decreased fluids)
Decreasing Salt (Swelling actualy started after I decreased the salt)

We shall see.

Are you possibly on some kind of medication that might be doing this? When
I first started taking a calcium channel blocker for high blood pressure I
had a lot of swelling in the feet and legs, particularly if I walked a lot
or sat in one place for a long time.

No.. The only medication I take is the generic Lasix that they gave me after
3 weeks of the swelling.
