FibroDoc's Forum New Message: Message 111: Low Carbohydrate Diet FibroDoc's Forum: Message 111 [ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ ]    Posted by Cheryl Faye Schwartz on 05/25/00 at 9:42 PM Subject:   Low Carbohydrate Diet Message Posted If any of you have had difficulty losing weight, are retaining fluid, are lethargic or foggy, it may be worthwhile to see if you respond to a low carbohydrate diet. Try it for 2 weeks to see how you feel. I suggest less than 60 grams of carbohydrate per day and eat lots of protein and some fat (not excessive amounts of fat). Drink enough water to quench your thirst but don't force yourself to drink when you're not thirsty and don't intentionally deny yourself water when you are thirsty. A very refreshing beverage is fresh lemon squeezed into pure water or plain seltzer (non sodium seltzer). Let's get some good discussion going on this topic.    Follow Ups: Post a Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Message to Post : If any of you have had difficulty losing weight, are retaining fluid, are lethargic or foggy, it may be worthwhile to see if you respond to a low carbohydrate diet.
