Lost as last year's Easter egg

#4. I have the doc's order to follow a Low Fat, Low Carb
diet. Help, please. Is there one simple print out I can at least
get started with?

The extreme for this type of diet is a PSMF:

You can google for PSMF (protein sparing modified fast) as well, but
in a nutshell:

* 0.8 to 1.2 g protein per lb "ideal" body weight
* EFAs
* LC Veggies
* Nothing else

You can make it less extreme by replacing "nothing else" with various
amounts of other things. Your doctor can (should!) advise you about
how strict you should be.

If that is what your doctor recommends, Atkins and some of the other plans
may be too restrictive for you. I would recommend you get a copy of the
"South Beach Diet" and read it. That is a relatively low carb as well as
low fat diet program. My sister recently started it and says it is easy to
follow; she's lost quite a bit of weight fairly quickly on it. Good luck
and God bless.

Although there's nothing wrong with South Beach, which is essentially low
carb without "evil" saturated fat, I personally would ignore the doctor's
advice. A low carb diet of any type is better than high carb, low fat.

Oh, I wouldn't be too sure of that.

It is very obvious that your cognitive abilities are severely limited,
so the question is, were you born stupid or could it be as a result of
your brain not being provided with sufficient carbs?

As you can have no possible way of determining whether the woman's
Doctor prescribed the low fat/low carb diet purely for weight loss or as
a part of a response to the various medical problems that she has, your
implied suggestion that she ignore her Doctor's advice would have to be
the ultimate in blind, unreasoning, moronic, stupidity.

You are a cretin! Go eat some carbs and restore some brain function.

I know you'll get some great advice here, but I would strongly
suggest that you ask your doctor for a consultation with a nutritionist
at your local hospital. They will have access to your most recent lab
work, and your medications, which all should be considered when
structuring a diet.

good luck,
Sas
