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.
Sorry about the wording, Jerry_NJ. I am on warfarin to thin my blood so that I can have the conversion treatment that will correct the atrial flutter. The cardiologist said that sometimes atrial flutter corrects itself, however, and the conversion treatment is not necessary.
