The idea behind the low-carb diet is that decreasing carbs lower insulin levels, which causes the body to burn stored fat for energy and ultimately leads to weight loss. In general, a low-carb diet focuses on proteins, including meat, poultry, fish and eggs, and some nonstarchy vegetables.
Your doctor will tell you how long you need to take warfarin for, and when you should stop taking it. Some people will take warfarin long term, for as long as their blood-clotting risk continues. Other uses (such as after surgery) are usually short term.
For example, the following are commonly advised: 1  You should aim to take warfarin at the same time each day. This is usually six o'clock in the evening. 2  If you accidentally miss a dose, NEVER take a double dose 'to catch up' (unless specifically advised by a doctor or by the person who runs the warfarin clinic).
