I had a widow maker heart event on the evening of September 14 of 2024 and the next morning had a quadruple heart bypass surgery. No one really gave me any diet help after surgery. My primary doctor, after seeing my A1c go up on a mostly plant based , very low fat diet in the months following my heart surgery , told me, cut the carbs.
That did not work for me . I did not feel good or see my blood sugar go down on low carb
I’ve decided to fine tune my diet, add in a healthy carbs but continue to cut sugar and processed grains , add in more vegetables, a little bit of berries, and a little bit of lentils and beans and quinoa. I now eat lean chicken, fish, and pasture raised eggs .
