Can u please recommend a diet or product that helps lose weight 4 acute mild chf/type 2 diabetes dats not too restrictive & not 2 slow?

Whole foods: Simple sugars and processed carbs should be avoided or limited. This includes any flour product. The fine grind makes absorption quick, and spikes your blood sugar which increases Insulin and promotes weight gain. Good fats such as olive oil and coconut oil are fine. Eat a rainbow of organic vegetables and 3-4 oz protein with each meal 5 hours apart. Consider coq10 and l-carnitine for chf.
