Interested in doctors thoughts re: essyltstein or ornish diets on reversing heart disese? trying 2 lose weight w/minor heart defect, does it work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Speak with you: The Ornish diet is to help patients who have severely calcified aortic arteries and heart disease avoid bypass surgery by changing their diet to a no fat diet. Atkins diet is meat/ vegetable based and no carbs. For minor heart defect, you're better off speaking to your doctor or cardiologist about which diet may be better. You can always get a second opinion from an integrative medicine doctor too
