CHF & Atkins ?
Hi,
A newbe here and I was wondering if anyone has CHF and has tried the Atkins diet and what were the results? I'm pretty sure I can define the approximate age where I developed the CHF and it coincides with weight gain (water retention) of about 20/25#. Since "official" diagnosis and being put on meds I've gained an additional 65# and am now at 317. Back in the "good old days" when I was a lineman and did a lot of hunting and fishing I was 220 and felt great. I've read Atkins and just recently the South Beach books and know in Atkins he mentions some meds will prevent weight loss, namely diuretics. (Of course I'm on diuretics.) I'm on Furosemide, Lipitor, Diovan, and Coreg. I'm doing the "Induction phase" now (for about a week) and lets just say, "It ain't look'n good!" |
