What to do if i have acanthosis nigrican. can i go on a low carb diet?

Yes: A low carb diet without processed carbs is a good idea. Try to get your low carbs from fresh vegetables and fresh fruits with fiber. They will decrease the sugar rise into your blood. Eat plenty of protein and good healthy fasts such as olive oil. Stay away from white flour, processed carbohydrates since they are absorbed into the blood fast. Stay away from foods that contain simple sugars -
