repost, liver shrinking diet

I posted this last week but it is now a few days back and wanted to post it again since I have had a lot of requests for it. Basically the Liver shrinking diet is a low sodium diet! The point it to detox the body. The class I took cost me $25 but I am here to share for free. This is a diet that was formulated at MY doctors office along with his dietitian, he has been doing GBS here in my area about 3 years and he has learned a lot and changed how he does things over the years. This diet is meant to last 4 to 6 weeks. When I had my surgery 2 ½ years ago he did not make anyone do this diet but he seemed to find it was easier to get to the surgery site if the liver was not swollen and fatty. I hope this makes sense, there are 23 pages in the diet hand out. I will try to condense it but if you can email me if you want for more information and I will see if I can put it in a file... I don't know how to do that but I will try because I am sure people would like to read all of it. This diet is intended to 1. limit sodium intake 2. limit fat intake 3. Limit the amount of calories eaten per day. Don't forget this diet was made for PRE op patients and I will sometimes forget to convert to POST op patients. Most Americans get more then 10,000 mg of sodium a day, the recommended is 4,000 and on this diet you are limited to 2,000 a day! I am on maintenance and have been at goal for ever a year so this is not exact for everyone I have a schedule to eat 6 times a day Carbohydrates- 137 grams- 54% Protein - 60 grams - 24% Fat-25 grams-22% Calories-1013 1. Do not go out to eat, eat at home so you know what you are eating 2. Do not eat any processed foods. This includes ham, bacon, American cheese slices. Etc 3. Avoid anything in a can, box, bag or a bottle, these are all loaded with sodium. High fat is also in most of these foods. Examples are canned veggies, frozen pizza, canned soups, salad dressings, TV dinners ETC. Added to this list is olives, cheese of any type. No type of smoked meats, no organ meat. No caffeine (sorry) you can only eat one whole egg a day, but as much egg whites as you want. I only have 8 days on this diet but I have been on the Atkins type diet since I saw my surgeon Thursday, I have already lost 3 pounds on HIS scale.... my surgery is on the 15th, I can't wait to see how much i have lost plus i know i will lose more while I am in the hospital and recouperating at home since I won't get to drive anywhere to eat..
