[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1674537, member: 355878"] Obviously your nurse did not give you any guidance about diet - which is typical I'm afraid. Reducing your intake of carbs is probably going to be the most important thing to do - drink plenty of water, also keep up your intake of vitamins and minerals and if you reduce processed food increase your salt intake, as you could develop cramps due to the lowered intake of salt. You probably have been instructed to keep your fat intake down and that will reduce your cholesterol - which doctors believe is responsible for problems with the heart and vascular system - though there does seem to be more evidence that carbohydrates are the more likely culprits. Do eat what fats are regarded as healthy for you, as although there are no essential carbs there are essential fatty acids, and some people can feel really ill without them. [/QUOTE]
