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.
* If you are only going to be on warfarin a short while (say 3-6 months), the easiest thing is to just avoid vitamin K entirely. Iâve seen people who had to have their INR checked and warfarin dose adjusted every 1-2 weeks for the entire 3-6 months they were on warfarin. Besides being a nuisance to go to the doctor all the time, the fluctuations mean you may not be in a safe range much of the time.
