I liked the emphasis on good fats, but found the 1st 2 weeks, where your carb intake is so severely restricted, to be beyond what I wanted to do. I've heard its supposed to be very good for people with insulin resistance, but I couldn't stay on it long enough to gain any real results. I did lose weight, but regained it pretty quickly when I couldn't make it into a life long change.

Avatar n tn ) that many foods contain carbohydrates and when consumed they turn into sugar in the body. And while not being a good nutritional choice, the body doesn't distinguish between a candy bar or a piece of fruit.

Avatar m tn high fat damages the liver adequate-protein is ok but from vegetable or little white meat, no red meat, no diaries low-carbohydrate leads nowhere, it is processed and refined carbohydrates to increase blood glucose which makes damage, so the problems is refined cereals not not carbohydrates the answer is orgains-raw carbohydrates which still contain the fibers which block too fast glucose absorption, they must be bio because you have more poisons/pesticides on the surface of raw carbohydrates

Avatar n tn i think so.. calcium seems to help ulcers heal, that's why ant-acids are mostly made of calcium.. if you're on the triple antibiotic thereapy like you should be it'll kill the bacteria in the milk which isn't bad.. but also probably lessen the side effects of taking those antibiotics in the first place. For sure follow instructions what your doctor said but I don't see why you couldn't drink chocolate or milk.. probably will help.
Avatar f tn That is why a diet high in fat is likely to result in more weight gain than a diet high in calories from protein or carbohydrates. It is important for people with liver disease to minimize their fat intake by avoiding foods that are high in fat content. Excess fat can result in a fatty liver or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Not only can a fatty liver cause liver disease, it may contribute to the worsening of other liver diseases.
Avatar m tn On the Zone Diet (at least according to my textbook) the good thing was that this diet encourages mostly healthy foods. You eat the right mix of fats, carbs and protein and that keeps you trim and healthy by lowering insulin.
Avatar n tn Go to the dentist, a bad tooth or gums can cause bad breath. Check if you have some stomach problem. Don't eat heavy foods, like garlic, onion, pastrami, sausages, etc. Use antibacterial mouthwash. You can chew cloves, mint or bad breath products like NuvoraBreath for fresher breath.

Avatar m tn We need both good carbs and good fats to survive. Simple carbs are bad, Complex carbs are good. Unsaturated fats are good. They are divided into monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. Saturated and trans fat are bad. Try not to mix or combine carbs and fats into single groups.

Avatar m tn He should be staying away from all carbohydrates including whole wheat bread and his diet should be fat and protein. You're hypoglycemic because of the drugs. If he's not yet on any drugs, and completely cuts out carbs, his glucose level would stabilize back to normal. It's a tough diet tho. I managed for 2 days only. Couldn't stand the constant hunger. But for him, unfortunately, it's either that or drugs/insulin for the rest of his life.
